I want to plot a contour map with several explicit paths superimposed on it. So far as I can work it out, the only way to do this currently is using multiplot: set view map set multiplot set contour unset surface splot "map.dat" unset contour set surface splot "path1.dat" with lines, "path2.dat" with lines unset multiplot This works, but I don't like having to depend on multiplot mode to exactly superimpose things. So I am wondering if there is a simple extension to the splot syntax that would allow this within a single plot. I had in mind something like: set view map set contour unset surface splot "map.dat", "path1.dat" nocontour with lines This brings up an issue with whether "unset surface" should have any effect at all on plots that are not contour plots. Right now, unset contour; unset surface; splot <foo> with lines produces a plot with no lines at all, which I think is a bug. So what do you all think - am I overlooking an existing non-multiplot method of superimposing contours and explicit paths? Would a "splot ... nocontour" option be a reasonable extension? Should an explicit "splot <foo> with lines" ignore the status of set/unset surface? -- Ethan A Merritt Biomolecular Structure Center University of Washington 98195-7742 |
