#2717 — problems with splot of equation in 3D as a plane

Hi guys,

i need to do a gnuplot of a plane in 3D. I have the equation of the plane. The problem is that the plane is nearly vertical.
How can i adjust the output of gnuplot to "rasterize" my plane in z-direction properly 

My code:
set zrange[100:170]
set isosamples 200
splot [0:140] [0:100] (-0.00304622*x--0.999983*y-39.7027)/(-0.00491253) with lines

Thanks,
Sebastian

(do you also get that one strange line in your plot? I guess you´re
testing the numerical precision here.)

(don´t set the x/y axis ranges in the plot command. that´s widely
regarded as "bad practice" ;-))

You could first plot to a table using a stongly reduced yrange (so you
don´t get a billion points outside of the desired zrange), and then plot
that tabulated data.

set sample 20; set isos 20
set table $data
set xr [10:12]; set yr [4:5]
splot x*y
unset table

set xr [0:40]; set yr [2:8]
splot $data using 1:2:3 w l

If you don´t have gp50, simply replace $data by a file name.

Another possibility: Use parametric mode, and change the u/vrange.

Or if the plane is supposed to contain some information
(contours? heat map?) you might want to create it first as an
image file and then map that into 3D as in plots 5/6/7 in
this demo:
