In the plotting with image of the data includes NaN values,
the grids have NaN value are drawn in the color of the lowest value defined in cbrange.

It may be useful that there is the option to specify
the color for NaN or transparency in image plot.

If the NaN values are not drawn,
it is possible to overlaying the some image plots.

Thanks.

This is already implemented in the CVS version of gnuplot. You can either let the NaN value create an out-of-range pixel value or by explicitly trap it and assign an alpha value of 0 to an RGBA image.

For a simple example, start with one of the plots in "heatmaps.dem" and replace one of the matrix elements with NaN.

The external opitimized image handling performed for instance by PostScript may not support this however. In this case you can add the keyword "failsafe" to your plot command ( 'plot .... with image failsafe' ). This will cause gnuplot to use generic code to draw each pixel, and this generic code will definitely omit pixels with NaN value. But the output file may be larger than for the terminal-specific optimization.

After reading your comment, I tried CVS version.

It solves the almost of my problem in using image style.
The pngcairo terminal did not require the failsafe keyword
to make transparent the NaN grids, and x11 terminal required.

Thank you very match.

If you don't mind my asking, is there a way to fill NaN grids in the
specified color (e.g. gray) and to draw the valid grids
in normal pm3d colors in image style ?
