NAME
       plw3d - Set up window for 3-d plotting

SYNOPSIS
       plw3d(basex, basey, height, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, alt, az)

DESCRIPTION
       Sets  up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the currently defined two-dimensional window.  The enclosing box for the sur-
       face plot defined by xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin and zmax in user-coordinate space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size basex	by
       basey  by  height so that xmin maps to -basex/2, xmax maps to basex/2, ymin maps to -basey/2, ymax maps to basey/2, zmin maps to 0 and zmax
       maps to height.	The resulting world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude alt and azimuth az.   This  routine  must	be
       called  before plbox3(3plplot) or plot3d(3plplot).  For a more complete description of three-dimensional plotting see the PLplot documenta-
       tion.

       Redacted form: plw3d(basex, basey, height, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, alt, az)

       This function is examples 8,11,18,21.

ARGUMENTS
       basex (PLFLT, input)
	      The x coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       basey (PLFLT, input)
	      The y coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       height (PLFLT, input)
	      The z coordinate size of the world-coordinate box.

       xmin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user x coordinate value.

       xmax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user x coordinate value.

       ymin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user y coordinate value.

       ymax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user y coordinate value.

       zmin (PLFLT, input)
	      The minimum user z coordinate value.

       zmax (PLFLT, input)
	      The maximum user z coordinate value.

       alt (PLFLT, input)
	      The viewing altitude in degrees above the XY plane.

       az (PLFLT, input)
	      The viewing azimuth in degrees.  When az=0, the observer is looking face onto the ZX plane, and as az  is  increased,  the  observer
	      moves clockwise around the box when viewed from above the XY plane.
