# PointFromProfile3D

The PointFromProfile3D function Functions are tools that are available in Spreadsheet for processing and analyzing acquisitions or other results. You can add functions to your Spreadsheet job to create tool chains and produce results for specific applications. constructs a 3D point within the plane containing the reference profile. The Xp and Zp parameters define where the constructed point intersects the plane. The constructed point is returned in a Point3D structure.

Inputs

The PointFromProfile3D function has the following syntax:

PointFromProfile3D(ExternalProfile,Xp,Zp,Show)

See the table for a description of the available parameters.

Parameter | Description
External Profile | Specifies a reference to a Profile3D structure defined in another cell.
Xp | Offset on the X-axis from the profile origin, in real-world units.
Zp | Offset on the Z-axis from the profile origin, in real-world units.
Show | Selects the type of graphics to overlay on the image.
0 = hide all (default) | All graphics are hidden, except when the cell containing the function is highlighted in the spreadsheet.
1 = result graphics only | The result graphics of the function are displayed at all times.
2 = input and result graphics | The region of interest, the input data and the results are displayed at all times.

Outputs

Returns | A Point3D data structure containing the constructed 3D point, or #ERR if any of the input parameters are invalid.
Results | When initially inserted into a cell, the following functions are automatically inserted into the spreadsheet to create a result table.
| X | Y | Z
❒Point3D | GetX(Point3D) | GetY(Point3D) | GetZ(Point3D)

Vision Data Access functions

The following Structures 3D Vision Data Access functions are automatically inserted into the spreadsheet to create the result table:

Function | Description
GetX(Point3D) | Returns the X-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
GetY(Point3D) | Returns the Y-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
GetZ(Point3D) | Returns the Z-axis coordinate of the 3D point.
