Let P(x,y) be the equation for the plane fit.
Suppose your data is in columns 1, 2, and 3.
The the following command will plot
1) The data
2) The plane fit to the data
3) A pm3d (heat map) representation of the residual
   projected onto the xy plane 

splot 'data' using 1:2:3 with points, \
      P(x,y) using lines, \
      1:2:(0):($3 - P($1,$2)) using pm3d

(warning: this command not tested on actual data)
