The set view command sets the view point for splots. This command controls the way the 3-d coordinates of the plot are mapped into the 2-d screen space. This command provides controls to both rotation and scaling of the plotted data but supports orthographic projections only. Syntax: set view
{,{ }{,{ }{, }}} show view where and control the rotation angles (in degrees) along a virtual 3-d coordinate system aligned with the screen such that the screen horizontal axis is x, screen vertical axis is y, and the axis perpendicular to the screen is z. is bounded to the [0:180] range with a default of 60 degrees, while is bounded to the [0:360] range with a default of 30 degrees. controls the scaling of the entire splot, while scales the z axis only. Both scales default to 1.0. Examples: set view 60, 30, 1, 1 set view ,,0.5 The first sets all the four default values. The second changes only scale, to 0.5. See also set ticslevel.
