Gnuplot: Plotting a function on the surface of a sphereīecause you ask specifically about interpolation, I will note that the coloring shown in that answer would be smoother if you increased the level of interpolation: set pm3d interpolate 3,3 # your choice of values > 1Ģ) If you are asking how to color an arbitrary surface according to some scheme represented by values at known points, I think the answer is that the current stable gnuplot release version (5.2) cannot do that, but the development version (5.3) can. A perfect sphere? A surface fit to the points, which may or may not be spherical? Is there a coloring function that you applied to the points, or are the points themselves defining the desired color?ġ) If you are asking how to draw a perfect colored sphere, see for example the answer to this recent question: It is not clear exactly what you want to draw ideally. The problem is that you are plotting points, and each point is some single color. It would be possible to make the coloring semi-transparent so that you could "see through" it, but that would make distinguishing front and back harder rather than easier. This will sort the points on distance from the viewer so that points on the front surface will be drawn last and therefore not be occluded by points from the back surface. To the extent that the colors of adjacent points are due to one being on the front surface and one being on the back surface, you can improve the effect by adding a command set hidden3d Also, one could see through the points to the surface that is actually farther from the viewer.Īny suggestion would be highly appreciated.
The surface may be approximated by connecting the points with straight line segments, see set surface, in. As with plot, the points may be read from a data file or result from evaluation of a function at specified intervals, see set isosamples. At the moment it is not trivial to understand where a colour area is. splot can display a surface as a collection of points, or by connecting those points. It would be great if there were a way to get smooth colour changes on the surface. The Gnuplot script looks like set terminal wxt size 800,800 The best I could do is to use splot, with the palette option, which I understand would use the data in the 4th column to assign colors to each point.ĭata to be plotted are saved in "star.txt", a simple text file with 4 columns, and up to 10.000 rows. Moreover, there are hardly two identical X coordinates. I cannot readily use pm3D as the data are in not in matrix format, that is, no blank space after jumps in the X coordinates. I would like to plot the results as a coloured spherical surface. The first three values in each row describes a unitary vector in 3D, to which the scalar value is associated. txt file containing four colums: X, Y and Z coordinates, as well as a scalar variable.
