#2244 splot with 'set view 90,90' draws the xy plane in the wrong place

[dima]

Hi. I have this trivial script:

set view 90,90
splot '-' notitle
3224.210226 1640.604830 644
3224.218558 1641.604796 673
3224.226890 1642.604761 730
3224.235222 1643.604726 790
3225.210192 1640.596499 647
3286.199743 1639.088291 613
3287.191376 1638.079994 530
3287.199708 1639.079959 601

I think the data isn't important. If I move either angle in 'set view' by even 1 degree, I get the xyplane drawn at the bottom, where I expect it. But with 'set view 90,90' exactly, it is drawn at the top. This isn't right, I think. I'm using a fairly recent build of gnuplot.

Thanks!

FWIW this apparently changed betwee 5.2.4 and 5.2.5. It wasn't intentional.

I don't have an immediate fix or work-around for this during mouse-manipulation of the view angles. But if you are writing a script or issuing commands from the terminal it is probably better to say "set view projection yz" rather than "set view 90,90" since that will clean up the scaling and label placement knowing that it is a 2D plot layout.

Thanks for working on this. Also, I didn't know about "set view projection", so that will be helpful in the future also.
