[Gnuplot-py-users] pm3d

Hi Again Michael

Thank you for opening the list :-)

One thing I have been thinking is that it may be 
a good idea to add support for pm3d (a new mode
added in the development branch (future 3.8 release)
of gnuplot. 

It is pretty cool, it adds the remaining (IMHO) fundamental
feature for scientific plotting: intentisy surfaces and 
maps. 

There is a preview at 
http://www.sci.muni.cz/~mikulik/gnuplot.html#pm3d

Are you planning to add support for it ?. 

Thanks a lot,

Yes, this looks very cool.

I am busy at work right now and don't have a lot of time to put into
Gnuplot.py.  But it looks like pm3d mostly works through the old splot
interface by just setting a couple of extra options, so the data
handling that is already in Gnuplot.py might be adequate.  (The extra
settings can, as always, be accessed using the Gnuplot __call__
method.)

What changes do you think would be needed in Gnuplot.py to support
pm3d better?

Michael

Yes, sure, that's why I like Gnuplot.py, for the flexibility you
get.

I'll tell you what, I'll start using pm3d whenever I need it for
research or have some spare time and let you know if I find a
useful way to include it explicitly in Gnuplot.py and make it
easier to be accessed by the user ...

Thanks a lot,
