The traditional application of graphics combined with recent advances in computer technology can conveniently provide three dimensional (3‐D) plots of raw and/or mathematically derived data. Researchers can present more data in a particular format or increase the quantity of data that publishers will accept due to space limitations. 3‐D plots provide a clear visual reference to mathematical models or statistical interpretations of data sets. Results can be made more meaningful and easier to understand than results presented by conventional 2‐D graphics. The particular application of 3‐D graphics to problems in food science and technology is discussed.
