Rather than gripe again about how gnuplot assumes too much 
from the number of columns present, I have now re-organized 
the code in plot3d.c (get_3ddata) so that it is less sensitive to
plot style and number of columns.

I suppose the 2D code should be similarly cleaned up, but
that will be more work because there are more 2D plot styles.
