o The key world ‘levels’ defines the levels of drawn contour curves.
o In the above example, levels 12 indicates that twelve contour lines are drawn.
o Incremental defines the initial value, increment value and the final value.
o A legend for contour lines is available in the legend graph.
Question 12. How To Make Surface Mesh Finer?
Answer :
o The mesh size, indicated by XY coordinates is determined by ‘isosample’.
o The default number is 10.
o To get the finer mesh the size should be more.
o The mesh size troubles when a hidden line option is used with ‘set hidden3d’.
o To avoid these troubles, make ‘isosample’ larger, like 30 and above.
Question 13. How To Plot Implicit Defined Graphs?
Answer :
o Implicit graphs are plotted indirectly.
o The following example illustrates the process:
gnuplot>
gnuplot> function(x,y) = y - x**2 / tan(y)
gnuplot> set contour base
gnuplot> set cntrparam levels discrete 0.0
gnuplot> unset surface
gnuplot> set table 'graphcurves.dat'
gnuplot> splot function(x,y)
gnuplot> unset table
gnuplot> plot 'graphcurves.dat' w l
