In gnuplot (and some other tools') parlance, that's actually a 4D 
dataset you're talking about.  gnuplot doesn't really do 4D, also known 
as 'volumetric' data plotting.  It does 3D plotting, i.e. surfaces of 
(almost) arbitrary shapes, and nowadays it can add colour to such 
surfaces, but that's it.
