3-D Column, Pyramid, Band, and Area Charts

These charts compare trends of values across series and across categories. The X-Axis represents the category axis, the data series (different variables) are arranged along the Y-Axis, and the Z-axis represents the values of data series.


3-D Column, Pyramid, Prism

  • Rectangular prism/column
  • Pyramid
  • Pointed rectangular prism
  • Hexagonal and pointed hexagonal prism
  • Quartz-shaped prism

3-D Area and Band

  • Area (Quartz)
  • Band (Quartz)
  • The graphs shown on this page are all Quartz graphics. However, rotation of 3-D charts in Aabel is partly hardware accelerated using OpenGL graphic system, for speed and interactivity.
