Not just translated, but projected, too.  I.e. the coordinates known
to gnuplot_x11 are always 2D.  There's no way at all it could give
back 3D data.

But now that I look at the sources, it seems the 3D data are actually kept 
around until the next 'plot', i.e. the only calls to the relevant routine
sp_free() are in eval3d_plot() and when you change the 'samples' settings
(for whatever that is supposed to achieve...)
