I need an help with Mathematica 8

[kurt1989]

Hello everybody!
I'm a new member and I don't know if it is the right section, but I have some problem with the software mathematica so I'm here hoping that someone can help me..

I have a csv file and I have to plot it, but I don't know which function I have to use. The csv file contains 3 columns:the first and the second are the coordinates x y in pixels and the third is the form of the velocity vector. I need to obtain a plot that gives me the velocity countur map.

Someone has an idea??

Thanks to everybody

If your spreadsheet data is in the form of
1,1, 2
1,2, 5
1,3, 2
1,4, 7
2,1, 4
2,2, 5
2,3, 5
2,4, 6
3,1, 2
3,2, 3
3,3, 3
3,4, 4
where your x,y are in order with every point present and you have n pixels horizontally then

velocity=Partition[Import["yourfile.csv"][[All,3]],n];

which will extract your third column and format it into a rectangular matrix. Then

ListContourPlot[velocity]

should give you your velocity contour plot.

If you have all those points, but they are not in the correct order, then you might be able to sort your rows into order, then select the last column with [[All,3]] and then ListContourPlot the result.

If you don't have all those points and can't get them then I don't know what to tell you. You might be able to use ListInterpolation, but this is getting more and more complicated and I don't want to toss you in the deep end of the pool, yet.
