3d plot error between different machines
r
(both using version 42patch0) The 3d plot on machine 1 (mandriva 2008)
shows the data correctly (z axis ztics range 0-1400); on machine 2
(suse11) the 3d plot is wrong (z axis shows range of ztics values
10-90!) . Below is the source data.
Is this a bug with gnuplot or somewhere in the suse11 machine?

Sorry, but that won't suffice to describe the problem. We need an
actual, complete plot script that reproduces the problem.
That said, there really is no particularly good reason to still be using
4.2 patchlevel 0. You're 6 patchlevels behind the curve!

With respect I am free to use whichever version I want. Not interested
in the constant upgrade culture.
On the suse 11 machine this test was repeated using 42patch5 and the
error on that machine still occurred. If someone else would test and
advise if there is a configuration in the suse machine that I should
inspect, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

With respect, I must point out that you have given us no actual
plot command to test with. Nor is it clear exactly how anyone other
than you can determine if there are problems with your particular
machine. You have told us that the test case works correctly on
other machines, but fails on one particular machine. So yes, it sounds
like that machine has a problem. Without more information, how can we help?
If it helps any, using the bare command
splot 'bug.data'
on the data you provided produces a plot with the correct range on z
when tested here using several machines. Gnuplot versions 4.2.3, 4.2.5,
4.2.6 and current CVS source.

It's not clear whether you are building from source or using a
Suse distribution package. If you are saying that the Suse 11 gnuplot
package doesn't run correctly, that sounds like an issue for a Suse forum.
For that matter, if you are saying that source built on this one Suse
machine runs differently than the same source built on a different machine,
again it sounds like a Suse question, possibly involving compiler versions
or optimization levels.

The commands above are accepted by my installations of gnuplot.
Therefore I cannot understand your statement.

The installations are all from the official repositories of the
distributions, i.e. mandriva and opensuse. I did not know whether this
bug was because of gnuplot or the distribution as I asked originally.
I shall notify suse as it seems from your reply that a more likely
cause is something to do with the way that suse compiles gnuplot for
their repository. Thanks.

different z coordinates than gnuplot 4.2.6. Looking to the commands you
request:
set dgrid3d ,,8
set pm3d implicit at bs
unset key
I guess it was compiled with a gridding option which is not default in
./configure.
Anyway, the true problem is your data. These points form a line, not a
surface! So it makes absolutely no sense to draw a surface plot.
Gridding of such data gives nothing but artifacts.
