# 3D plots

3D plots are generated using the command splot rather than plot. Many of the 2D plot styles (points, images, impulse, labels, vectors) can also be used in 3D by providing an extra column of data containing z coordinate. Some plot types (pm3d coloring, surfaces, contours) must be generated using the splot command even if only a 2D projection is wanted.
