Hi John,
I forgot to mention the way it works is as follows once you are in
GnuPlot prompt.
-----------------------------------------
set parametric
set data style points
splot "diff_matrix.data"
-----------------------------------------
About the style, "lines" is also fine.
User can also use "set view ..." command to adjust the angles of the
viewing.

Joe
