[Gnuplot-info] Problem with rangelimited on 3D-plots

[Johannes R. <ja...@ho...>]

Hi all,

I am using Gnuplot 4.4 on Gentoo Linux, and I want to do the following:
Plot a function in 3D, but only plot the z-axis, in those ranges, where
there the function takes values.  This works perfectly in 2D (see the
example in 'help rangelimited'), but it fails to work in 3D.

Example:
 set parametric
 set ztics rangelimited
 set trange [0:2]
 set xrange [0:2]
 set yrange [0:4]
 set zrange [0:10]
 splot [t=0.1:1.9] t,t*t,t*t*t

There seems to be some effect: Only the tics in the range of the
function are shown.  But the axis is still there, in contrast to the
two-dimensional case.

Is there an easy solution?

Cheers,

Johannes
