[Gnuplot-info] 2d fence plot w/ variable color

[Charlton G. <cha...@2c...>]

Hi, list.

I am looking at http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.2/surface1.html, specifically the 'fence plot'.  I'd like to apply that to some chlorophyll traces.

I've been beating my head and scouring the net to see how I could take something like that and turn it into a 2d image but not lose the data.  I've gone through many hands on iterations, and nothing turns out quite right.

In the case of that example, I would want to drag the image down such that the X and Y axes would appear normally as a 2d chart, but the -1 to 1 Z axis data would be color-coded by a smooth gradient that I might see had I splot-ted w/ a palette.

In other words, I'd end up w/ 10 vertical lines on a 2d chart, but these vertical lines would each have multiple colors within each one to represent the Z value.  Each line would be like a variably colored gummyworm.

Ha, leave it to google images to give me an example http://tinyurl.com/yfml25m.

I hope that description makes some sense.

Many thanks,

Charlton
