Gnuplot question: how to plot 3D points as colored points in map view?

I have a simple gnuplot question. I have a set of points (list of x,y,z values; irregularly spaced, i.e. no grid) that I want to plot. I want the plot to look like this:
- points in map view (no 3D view)
- color of each point should depend on its z-value.
- I want to define my own color scale
- plot should contain a little legend box in the form of a color bar listing what z-value corresponds to what color

I tried pm3d, but it seems it only handles gridded data, i.e. x,y's on a regular grid, or at least displays them as such. I just want to see the individual points (no interpolation).

Thanks for your help here.

gnuplot: map view with black and white for 0/1 in the 3rd column

Hi, I am using gnuplot to plot a 3D plot with "set view map". My data looks like ====== X Y Z ====== 100 200 0 200 300 1 200 200 0 . . . The third column only has either 0 or 1. How do I generate a map view plot that will have black (white) for 0 (1)? Thanks, Gaurab

matching points in Gnuplot

Does anyone know how can one draw lines between 2 sets of data for the same point. let's say that the three points (x1,y1) = (1,2) (4,5) (8.9) became: (x2,y2) = (3,6) (6,4) (4, 0) so if I want to plot these points and match every (x1,y1) with the corresponding (x2,y2), how can I do it?...

plsurf3d

PLSURF3D(3plplot)						    PLplot API							 PLSURF3D(3plplot)

NAME

       plsurf3d - Plot shaded 3-d surface plot

SYNOPSIS

       plsurf3d(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt, clevel, nlevel)

DESCRIPTION

       Plots  a  three	dimensional shaded surface plot within the environment set up by plw3d(3plplot).  The surface is defined by the two-dimen-
       sional array z[nx][ny], the point z[i][j] being the value of the function at (x[i], y[j]).  Note that the points in arrays x and y  do  not
       need to be equally spaced, but must be stored in ascending order. For further details see the PLplot documentation.

       Redacted form: plsurf3d(x, y, z, opt, clevel)

       This function is not used in any examples.

ARGUMENTS

       x (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated.

       z (PLFLT **, input)
	      Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values.

       nx (PLINT, input)
	      Number of x values at which function is evaluated.

       ny (PLINT, input)
	      Number of y values at which function is evaluated.

       opt (PLINT, input)
	      Determines  the  way  in	which  the  surface  is  represented. To specify more than one option just add the options, e.g. FACETED +
	      SURF_CONT opt=FACETED: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function is defined.	opt=BASE_CONT: A contour  plot	is
	      drawn  at  the  base XY plane using parameters nlevel and clevel.  opt=SURF_CONT: A contour plot is drawn at the surface plane using
	      parameters nlevel and clevel.  opt=DRAW_SIDES: draws a curtain between the base XY plane and the borders of  the	plotted  function.
	      opt=MAG_COLOR: the surface is colored according to the value of Z; if MAG_COLOR is not used, then the default the surface is colored
	      according to the intensity of the reflected light in the	surface  from  a  light  source  whose	position  is  set  using  pllight-
	      source(3plplot).

       clevel (PLFLT *, input)
	      Pointer to the array that defines the contour level spacing.

       nlevel (PLINT, input)
	      Number of elements in the clevel array.
