Re: [Gnuplot-info] splot 3D vectors given in component form

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

The answer to your first question is to plot an
arbitrary function outside of the range of the plot;
i.e., splot -10 and then set zrange between 0 and 1 or
whatever.

The second question I'm not too sure about. In 2D
plots you can do the following:
set xzeroaxis lt -1
set yzeroaxis lt -1
unset border
set xtics axis
set ytics axis

This gives you what I think you want, but it only
works in 2D (I think) I don't know about 3D.
