[Gnuplot-info] data file format for pm3d

[Gavin B. <gav...@ya...>]

this is from the help splot - datafile - example
thingy (just type help) 

splot 'datafile.dat'

 where the file "datafile.dat" might contain:

       # The valley of the Gnu.
          0 0 10
          0 1 10
          0 2 10

          1 0 10
          1 1 5
          1 2 10

          2 0 10
          2 1 1
          2 2 10

          3 0 10
          3 1 0
          3 2 10

Hope that helped. You can also splot matrix data....
using splot 'datafile.dat' matrix. Again from the help
pages:

 The `matrix` flag indicates that the ASCII data are
stored in matrix format.
 The z-values are read in a row at a time, i. e.,
       z11 z12 z13 z14 ...
       z21 z22 z23 z24 ...
       z31 z32 z33 z34 ...
 and so forth.  


Gavin.
