Grid in xzplane

gnuplot

Solution

Sadly this is currently not supported by the `grid` command, a feature request should probably be posted.

Anyway, as suggested by mgilson you can manually add the grid-lines with for-loops and the `set arrow` command. For example adding the following two lines:

set for [x = -10:10:2] arrow from x/10.0, 0, 0 to x/10.0, 0, 100 nohead lt 0
set for [z = 0:100:10] arrow from     -1, 0, z to      1, 0,   z nohead lt 0

Results in:

You may want to rotate the plot with `set view`. The divide-by-ten is there because floating-point increment doesn't seem to work.

Or if you wanted the grids to be on the back of the box, do something like this:

set for [x = -10:10:2] arrow from x/10.0, 100, 0 to x/10.0, 100, 100 nohead lt 0
set for [z = 0:100:10] arrow from     -1, 100, z to      1, 100,   z nohead lt 0

set for [y = 0:100:10] arrow from     -1,   y, 0 to -1,   y, 100 nohead lt 0
set for [z = 0:100:10] arrow from     -1,   0, z to -1, 100,   z nohead lt 0

Which results in:

A style note

You can replace:

set xtics axis
set ytics axis
set ztics axis

set xzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black"
set yzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black"
set zzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black"

with the equivalent:

set tics axis
set zeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black"

Problem

I'm having trouble with displaying a grid in the xzplane. I've changed the position of my z-axis like this: Now I'd like to have a grid like in the xy-plane in my xz-plane, but since I'm rather new to gnuplot, I couldn't find the correct command. My code looks like this: ``` set parametric set xlabel "Abweichung" set ylabel "Dosis [%]" set zlabel "Volumen [%]" set xrange [-1:1] set yrange [0:100] set zrange [0:100] set xtics 0.2 set ytics 10 set ztics 10 set grid set border 4095 ls 1 lc rgb "black" set xtics axis set ytics axis set ztics axis set xzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black" set yzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black" set zzeroaxis lt 1 lw 2 lc rgb "black" set xyplane 0 splot [t=0:100] 0, t, t ```
