i have a graph and need contour lines on it, but whenever i use dgrid3d it shrinks the graph cause there is a large peak,

its so simple what i need...all i need is at three known hieght values a line drawn where my points cross it...but it wont work...argh

edit:

so i am at my bosses house where we are running some tests...the data is too big to get off of the computer and for some reason we cant get LINUX to recognize the cd burner and i am not a LINUX expert so there is only so much i can do...

so all morning i am trying to get this thing to work on that computer which would graph the results...well finally i give up post a ? here and search the net for answers...then i go up to my work computer and try it with a dummy file...it works perfectly on the first try...and is the exact same thing letter for letter that i typed into my bosses computer...argh!

Whoa! man, it's been years since I used gnuplot.
I am not sure if this helps:
- Try reduce the data domain (just enough to include the 3 pts of interests)
- Graphic output can be scaled (xscale, ...) and viewed from a certain direction. So you can have the graph outputted
in a way that helps illustrate your point better.

Long live GNUPlot and LaTeX ! :D
