[Gnuplot-info] How to represent a 2D plot in 3D

[Omamuyovwi A. <oma...@ya...>]

Dear Gnuplot User,
I have a set of data PDOS (precisely partial density of state) which shows the contribution of each valence electron to the total density of state of a material.
I will like to plot PDOS in 3D but I really do not know how to go about after sorting for solution on the Internet.
The nature of the PDOS data is given below:# E (eV)   ldos(E)   pdos(E)   
  6.437 -0.747E-05 -0.747E-05
  6.537 -0.173E-03 -0.173E-03
  6.637 -0.653E-03 -0.653E-03
  6.737  0.372E-02  0.372E-02
  6.837  0.120E-01  0.120E-01
  6.937  0.469E-02  0.469E-02
  7.037 -0.579E-02 -0.579E-02
  7.137  0.104E-01  0.104E-01
  7.237  0.952E-01  0.952E-01
  7.337  0.806E-01  0.806E-01
  7.437  0.877E-03  0.877E-03
  7.537 -0.308E-02 -0.308E-02
  7.637  0.328E-01  0.328E-01
  7.737  0.371E-01  0.371E-01
  7.837 -0.422E-02 -0.422E-02
  7.937  0.360E-01  0.360E-01
  8.037  0.151E+00  0.151E+00
  8.137  0.764E-01  0.764E-01
  8.237  0.172E-01  0.172E-01
  8.337  0.623E-01  0.623E-01
  8.437  0.240E-01  0.240E-01
  8.537 -0.774E-02 -0.774E-02

I have a mini script that provides the frame of the 3D plot. I just need to insert the 2D data in the 3D frame.
I just need to use columns 1 and 3 for the plot i.e column 3 for the z-axis and column 1 for x/y axis in 3D.Thank you for your assistance.
