Timeseries Surface Plot Settings

Time Series Surface Plots are used to identify trends and outliers within Time Series surfaces, typically forward curves across time.

The Surface is made up of a series of points where each point has:

q  Time Position

q  Y Position

q  Color (which represents the Z axis).

The color scale can be continuous or stepped to show a surface gradient.

The timeseries surface plot settings pane is displayed after clicking the Options  button.
