cbfix

[Dr. J. Z. <joh...@ze...>]

Hello,

about everybody of my collegues who uses gnuplot / pm3d the first time
asks me how to make the pm3d colorbox to display only the colors from
the plot -- which is easily be done by "set autoscale cbfix". I heared
this question about 10 or 15 times the last years. Having autoscaling
switched on for all axes by default (so the default for all axes is
the same) might be esthetically and conceptionally "correct" but it is
counterintuitive. I would guess that it's far above 90% of cases where
the colorbox range should be "cbfix". My feeling is that the default
autoscaling for the colorbox is rarely wanted and used. Therefore I'd
suggest to turn the default to "set autoscale cbfix" (even though this
breaks backwards compatibility.
