#2916 — How to properly visualize polygons by splot ?

Hello everybody,
I am trying to visualize some polygons in 3D. When I rotate the visualized polygons, the rendering is obviously done wrongly. It looks like the polygons are drawn in the order I defined them and not from back to front.
Does anybody know what needs to be done to get the right rendering ?
Thank you very much
Lukas

I draw polygons by this command:
set object  1 polygon from   0.912E-01,   0.331E-01,  -0.327E-01 to   0.913E-01,   0.328E-01,  -0.324E-01 to   0.917E-01,   0.327E-01,  -0.323E-01 to   0.917E-01,   0.331E-01,  -0.326E-01 to   0.912E-01,   0.331E-01,  -0.327E-01    fillstyle solid border 15 fillcolor rgb "#8B8989"

and use splot to view what I have drawn.

Correct. Gnuplot draws objects in the order the are defined, not
based on coordinates.  Also gnuplot does not calculation occlusion
of solid objects, except for the case of surfaces drawn with
"set hidden3d".
