[Gnuplot-info] Problem with datafile

[Chrtsta <ch...@on...>]

Hi.
I have a little problem with this datafile I have received. It is in x y
z-format. The only 3D I'm getting that the points of the datafile in a
3D-environment, but I want to have the points to "be covered" like a carpet.
I'm sorry for the limitations my bad english is causing, but I hope you
understand.

The datafile is located at  http://home.online.no/~f-staus/temp.txt
http://home.online.no/~f-staus/temp.txt . It is a datafile from the
temperature below ground from 1933, in tis format: days (0-365), depth below
ground (in meters) and the temperature itself. I hope you can help me. It
seems to be different if the function is ploted rather then using a fixed
datafile.

What you're missing is that your data file should have grid structure, 
as described in "help glossary" and "help splot datafile".  If you want 
a carpet, your data has to have the structure of one: rows and columns, 
just like a regular weave.
