I would really like to be able to zoom in and rotate 3d plots using the mouse with octave. After searching a bit, I have seen much chatter on this issue and theanswer seems to be that its just not possible with the current versionof gnuplot. Is anyone using an alternative plotting utility that allows this functionality? thanks DMWhat version of gnuplot are you running? By chance are you using Aquaterm? If yes, try the x11 terminal instead. Ben
I've got a better internet connection than my cell phone now. If my response is confusing, you can determine the terminal you're running by typing 'getenv("GNUTERM")' at octave's prompt.
If the response is "aqua" then you are running aquaterm. Aquaterm produces nicely rendered plots, but does not permit the mouse to zoom/ rotate the plot.
I do not recall when the rotation was first supported by gnuplot, but I'm sure it does work for the x11 terminal for gnuplot version > 4.2.3.
If you are running octave with aquaterm, it is possible to switch to the x11 terminal. The method to accomplish that will depend upon how you are running octave. Where did you obtain you copy of octave from ... and how do you launch it?
