That could be *very* hard to do, given the large number of output format
the documentation is available in.  Supplying it as a generatable 
plot like the 'test' page, might work better.  Actually, it'd probably
best be done as a demo script.

"help glossary" would have gotten you there a lot faster ;-|

That would be impossible to show in a single page, anyway.  The solution
is

	set size square
	set ticslevel 0

In spite of the docs saying 'set size square' doesn't affect 3D plots, it
does.
