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?
