The 3D viewer can display 2- or 3-parameter data in a number of different formats. The colors that are applied to the 3D data are same as those shown in the standard display. Zoom settings that you make on the histograms will be used by the 3D viewer window. The 3D viewer provides additional flexibility, allowing rotation and zooming on the data display.
