Hi Sergey:

The combined used of time options and plbox is well tested by examples
in our test suite, but the combination of time options and *plbox3* is
currently not tested by any example in our test suite.  So it is
possible there is some PLplot bug to fix here.  However, your first
call above of plbox3 has nothing to do with the time option since that
option is "d" for xopt and yopt, but "e" for zopt (for the reason
mentioned at
<http://plplot.org/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.13.0/plbox3.html>.

Your second call of plbox3 above does specify a time option for xopt
(but not yopt or zopt).  But for that case, the trouble may be caused
by how you set up your time environment rather than a PLplot bug.  So
could you please follow up by sending us the simplest self-contained
example of the time option being used for one of (or all of) xopt,
yopt, and zopt for plbox3 that we can build and run for ourselves to
help us figure out whether it is a PLplot bug or something else
that is going wrong for you?
