Syntax:
set border {<integer>} set noborder show border
The borders are encoded in a 12-bit integer. The bottom four bits control the border for plot and the sides of the base for splot, the next four bits control the verticals in splot and the top four bits control the edges on top of the splot. In detail, the <integer> should be the sum of the appropriate entries from the following table:
Border Specification | |||
plot border | |||
and | |||
splot base | splot verticals | ||
bottom (south) | 1 | 16 | |
left (west) | 2 | 32 | |
top (north) | 4 | 64 | |
right (east) | 8 | 128 |
The default is 31, which is all four sides for plot, and base and z axis for splot.
To have tics on edges other than bottom and left, disable the usual tics and enable the second axes.
