Hi,

With ’set view’ (or by dragging with the mouse), I can set two angles of 
rotation for the viewpoint in a ‘splot’: ‘rot_x’ and ‘rot_z’.  Is there 
also a way to set a “rot_y”?

By way of example, consider the following plot of a spiral around the z 
axis (my actual plot is similar, but a bit more complicated.):

set map cyl
set zzeroax ls -1
splot [-5:5] [-5:5] '+' u ($1*pi):1:(1) w l

Now, I would like to have the z axis point “diagonally into the screen”, 
so that it looks like the spiral is going “off into the distance“, if 
you will.  (Note: I am not asking about perspective projection; that 
might be nice for my plot, but is not required.)
