Ok, here are two trimmed-down gnuplot sources that show the problem. I obtained them using the debug file option of drawnow and removing the useless lines by trial and error, so I don't really know what I did. In fact, since I know too little about gnuplot, I am no even able to explain what's wrong, that is, why one should expect a different behaviour.
The 1.gnuplot source gives a png image with no x axis labels (they should be on the top, but they are not). The 2.gnuplot source gives a png image with the x axis labels on the bottom, as expected. Probably only the first script is needed to demonstrate the issue, but I am not sure. ===File ~/math/workarea/1.gnuplot=========================== set terminal png enhanced; set output "1.png"; set grid nox2tics; set x2tics border in textcolor rgb "#000000"; unset xtics; set view map; splot "-" using ($1):($2):($3):($4) title "" with pm3d linestyle 1 \ ; 1 3 0 5 1 4 0 7 2 3 0 6 2 4 0 8 e ============================================================ ===File ~/math/workarea/2.gnuplot=========================== set terminal png enhanced; set output "2.png"; set grid noxtics; set xtics border in textcolor rgb "#000000"; unset x2tics; set view map; splot "-" using ($1):($2):($3):($4) title "" with pm3d linestyle 1 \ ; 1 3 0 5 1 4 0 7 2 3 0 6 2 4 0 8 e ============================================================ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
