Umm, have you ever tried plotting 1/x with a fixed yrange and a large
sample size?
(e.g. "set yrange [-10:10]; set sample 1000; plot 1/x")

How exactly do you intend to do this? Gnuplot doesn't have any
capabilities for function analysis. All it does is evaluating the
function at regular intervals, then connecting the x,y pairs with line
segments. Finding discontinuities (or determining whether a function
is continuous in a given interval) is quite hard for an arbitrary
function.

I can't follow this at all.

The 3D code doesn't need any more hacks, it needs a thorough
rethinking and rewriting.

You may be better off with installing and learning to use a linux
system where you don't have to shoot yourself in the foot if you want
to compile anything.
