Re: Plot order with pm3d?

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

Here is an update on the problem that the
border is visible when plotting with pm3d (cf
below).

The problem occurs after
	unset surface
It does NOT occur when set surface is active.

But after "unset surface", the problem seems
to be totally repeatable. It is also old: I could
replicate it in a version of gnuplot 4.0 which I
have still installed.

Just FYI - in case that helps to pin it down.
(Too bad, really, because plotting with unset
surface is so much faster.)

Best,
