Spinning a Scatterplot 3D

Question

I have a point cloud created in the JMP Scatterplot 3D platform.

Two question: I want to drive the rotation using JSL so that it only rotates around the Z axis.

How do I do that?

I want to save the result as an video.

How do I do that?

Thanks, Al Best

Thanks so much, Jim !

I prefer the Set Spin command since the graph will rotate continuously (though it would be nice if there's a way to manipulate the speed or duration like that of the Set Oscillation command).

I will now consult the Help > Scripting Index as my guide.

Again, much appreciated !

Here is the example script from the Help==>JMP Scripting==>Scatterplot 3D==>Frame3D==>Set Spin that demonstrates how to spin the graph using JSL. As far as making a video, There is shareware that will record to video the activity in a displayed window. You may want to try CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software Names Default To Here( 1 ); dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Iris.jmp" ); obj = Scatterplot 3D( Y( :Sepal length, :Sepal width, :Petal length, :Petal width ) ); obj << Frame3D( Set Rotation( -60, -3, 35 ), Set Oscillation( -54, 0, 38, 100 ) );

I, too, would like to know how this can be achieved.

Also, how can I make the 3d scatterplot rotate left to right and disable the up and down tilting - something like a navigation control (is this doable within the 3d scatterplot platform?).

Thanks.
