5.14. - bo select 3D box ratios
sets the relative sizes of the 3D axis box edges.
bo or bo x|. y|. z|.The axes of 3D plots can be imagined as drawn in a box, whose relative dimensions are set with the
bo command.
One corner of the box
is at coordinates (0,0,0) in box units.
The opposite corner is at
the position specified by
x,
y
and
z.
The numbers you enter will be rescaled so that the longest side of the box has a length of one box unit. You can use a dot for any of the arguments to indicate that the current value should be used.
For example, the command
bo 10 10 4
will create an axis box
that is shorter in the
z
direction.
The length of the
x
and
y
sides of the box will be one box unit.
The length of
the
z
side will be 0.4 box units.
The commands that draw annotation and the key (
pn, zn, pk and
zk) use box units to position the text when data units are not
chosen using the
u suffix.
