Hi there folks, I was just catching up on my reading in this newsgroup
and lo, I found this comment about a need for X11 3D plotting.
Well, it just happen that I have do have a program which does 3D
plots.  A brief description follows :

NAME
     pdraw - 3D plot program for X-windows and Postscript

SYNOPSIS
     pdraw [-v vx vy vz] [-o options-file] [-Pprinter] [-s scale]
     [-e] [-h] [-nosort] [-ps] plotfile1 plotfile2...

DESCRIPTIONS
     Pdraw is a program for drawing 3D plots on X10 or  X11  win-
     dows.  The program will also produce a POSTSCRIPT plot which
     can be dumped out to an APPLE Laserwriter.  Pdraw  reads  in
     x-y-z  data  from  a  plot-file  and  manipulates  that data
     according to options specified either in the command-line or
     in  a  options-file.   The  plot-file can be compressed (see
     compress[1]); compressed files will be uncompressed automat-
     ically.   The  program then plots lines on a screen or dumps
     the plots to a POSTSCRIPT file.

etc
etc

If there's any interest, send e-mail to me and I'll send you the source 
code.  I even have separate programs for 2D contour plots and 2D plots
(similar to Xgraph).  Anyone out there interested?
