Does "with nohidden3d" work?

[Philipp K. J. <ja...@ie...>]

According to the manual (section 34.7 "with"),
it is possible to use a "with nohidden3d" directive
together with the splot command to make individual
surfaces transparent.

That does not seem to work for me - instead, the
entire surface disappears.

Example:

set hidden3d

splot [-2:2][-2:2] exp(-x**2-y**2), 0.4-1/(1+x**2+y**2)
=> All good, two opaque surfaces

splot [-2:2][-2:2] exp(-x**2-y**2), 0.4-1/(1+x**2+y**2) with nohidden3d
=> syntax error! although according to the spec this
	should be correct. (I think)

splot [-2:2][-2:2] exp(-x**2-y**2), 0.4-1/(1+x**2+y**2) nohidden3d
=> the second surface does not show up at all

Am I using this option incorrectly?

Info on my gnuplot version below.

Best,

		Ph.
