Limiting z axis in 3d plot

[marcop...@googlemail.com]

Hello,
I am a new user of Sage and I have been trying to draw a standard 3d
plot, where I would like only a portion of the vertical axis to be
displayed. I tried inserting z bounds in the plot3d and also tried
issuing a p.show(zmin=0, zmax=0.007) command, but it seems the first
option had no effect and that .show only supports xmin/xmax and ymin/
ymax arguments.
As I could not find any clue on how to solve this by using
autocompletion or consulting the manual, I was wondering if anybody
had managed to deal with the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Marco

There is no direct support (yet) for clipping like you want.
You might try making the x and y axis bigger then setting the zoom before
displaying the plot, which might have the same effect as clipping the
z-axis.

Thanks, I will try that.
I am also considering drawing with GnuPlot rather than Jmol ...

Another possibility is tachyon. There is also a Python/Gnuplot interface,
by the way, which you might find useful.
