XYZ Plotter

A 3-D viewport that draws everything connected to its scene port, converting (r, θ, φ) positions to Cartesian x, y, z. It is the usual choice for solar and heliospheric scenes, and it can draw a spherical grid of lines (r, θ and φ ranges with line counts) behind the scene; the Grid Lines node draws the same kind of grid as a dataset.

Inputs

Port	Accepts	Required	Description
`scene`	render	required, multi	Render payloads to draw (any number)

Event ports

Event	Kind	Description
`pick_point`	dataset(stack)	Fires the picked point as a stack (every hit along the ray, nearest first, with Pick through; a `hit` index value array)
`pick_mesh`	dataset	The dataset wired into the picked Plot
`camera`	dataset(stack)	Fires the camera position, focal point, and up vector when the view changes

Outputs

None.
