No problem with:

set parametric
plot [-10:10][-10:10][-10:10]\
sin(t)/t,t ,\
sin(t),cos(t) ,\
t,sin(t)/t ,\
sin(t)/t,cos(t)/t ,\
t,log(t) ,\
-t,log(t) ,\
sin(t),t**2 ,\
-sin(t),t**2 ,\
tan(t),t, \
t,tan(t),\
-t,t ,\
cos(t),cos(2*t) ,\
2*cos(t),sin(t) ,\
-cosh(t),sinh(t),\
(sin(t)/t)-5,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)-4,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)-3,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)-2,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)-1,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)+1,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)+2,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)+3,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)+4,t ,\
(sin(t)/t)+5,t
