2D Histogram

[Justace C. <jus...@gm...>]

I was trying to see if there was a way to get a 2D histogram in gnuplot.  I am 
running the CVS version of gnuplot.  I did some looking but got back 
basically nothing.  Can anybody provide some suggestions.  Thanks.

It is unclear what you mean by a "2D histogram".
Could you please provide a URL for an example of such a plot?

Gnuplot has a plot mode for what *it* calls 2D histograms,
  http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.3/histograms.html
but I guess you have something else in mind.

The closest 3D equivalent, should that be what you are looking for,
is

   set hidden3d
   splot 'data' using 1:2:3 with impulses linewidth <something_big>
