Hi there. I'm trying to make a 3d pointplot by calling an xyz .txt file. It's for a simulation I'm running in Maple, but with results that need to be viewed with gnuplot. It's simply easier to interact with the plot in Maple while I'm still building the code. The data looks something like below (okay, what you see isn't monospaced, so it doesn't line up as nicely as I had in the original post. You get the idea though - first number is x, the next is y, the other is the intensity): (x) (y) (intensity) #these titles aren't actually there 0 0 1 0 1 2 0 2 3 1 0 4 1 1 5 1 2 6 etc. While I can get around the problem by directly making lists of points to plot, I'm still curious about whether you can plots points from a file, since the data we take in the lab is in the same form (delimited by spaces, distinct points on new lines). Well, thanks for your time! Fraser Turner
