plot3d: Old-style 3D Scatter Plot
This section describes a deprecated command.
It still works, but you are advised to use the more capable
plot2cube or
plot2sphere instead.
plot3d performs three-dimensional scatter plots,
sending the output to a graphical display or writing it to a file
in some vector or bitmapped graphics format.
You need to supply it with values for one or more X, Y and Z datasets,
in terms of table columns, and it will generate a plot with a point
for each row.
There are many options available to configure the detailed appearance
of the plot, but in its simplest form invocation is quite straightforward.
See Section 9 for more discussion on use of the plotting commands.
