3D histogram with gnuplot or octave
I would like to draw a 3D histogram (with gnuplot or octave) in order to represent my data. lets say that I have a data file in the following form: 2 3 4 8 4 10 5 6 7 I'd like to draw nine colored bars (the size of the matrix), in the set [1,3]x[1,3], such that the bar's color is proportional to the bar's height. How can I do this? Amro Below is a function I implemented that acts as a bar3 replacement (partially). In my version, the bars are rendered by creating a patch graphics object : we build a matrix of vertex coordinates and a list of faces connecting those vertices . The idea is to
