I'm sorry, I still have no idea what's going on here. Consider the following example:

    set samples 6
    set isosamples 500
    set table $surface
    splot x ** 2 + y ** 2
    unset table
    set contour
    set cntrparam levels discrete 80
    set view map
    splot $surface

1. Why is there a smooth curve in the interval [-10, -6]?
2. Why is there a straight line in the interval [-6, -2]?
3. Why are there no points at all in the interval [-2, 2]?
