[Gnuplot-info] Strange splot behavior w/ time

[Bret F. <bre...@or...>]

Test 1 looks like this:

-------------------------------------
gnuplot> set zdata time
gnuplot> set timefmt "%m%d%Y"
gnuplot> splot "-"
input data ('e' ends) > 01012000
input data ('e' ends) > 02012000
input data ('e' ends) > e
-------------------------------------
Which plots as expected.

Test 2 looks like this:
-------------------------------------
gnuplot> set ydata time
gnuplot> set timefmt "%m%d%Y"
gnuplot> splot "-"
                  ^
         Need full using spec for y time data
-------------------------------------

The same thing happens if I try to use the x-axis as the time axis. Is time
only allowed on the z-axis of 3-d plots? I guess a workaround is to always
plot time on the z-axis and then rotate the point of view as needed, but I'm
wondering if there's a better way.

Here are my version parameters:
