Regarding the current need for a general 3D patch with a planar constraint (i.e. a rotated 2D geometry), does anyone have an idea for how such a patch may be rendered using gnuplot?
The only way I can see to do it currently with gnuplot is to do a delaunay triangulation of the patch (assuming its planar), deal with the convex/concave issues and triangles outside the border of the original patch, and then plot it as if it was a set of triangles.. This is particularly messy and probably better to do something like this within gnuplot itself with the 3D equivalent of the 2D "filledcurve" option..
