.SH NAME
\fBplw3d\fP - Set up window for 3-d plotting 
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBplw3d\fP(\fIbasex\fP, \fIbasey\fP, \fIheight\fP, \fIxmin\fP, \fIxmax\fP, \fIymin\fP, \fIymax\fP, \fIzmin\fP, \fIzmax\fP, \fIalt\fP, \fIaz\fP)
.SH DESCRIPTION

.P
Sets up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the currently defined two-dimensional window.  The enclosing box for the surface plot defined by \fIxmin\fP, \fIxmax\fP, \fIymin\fP, \fIymax\fP, \fIzmin\fP and \fIzmax\fP in user-coordinate space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size \fIbasex\fP by \fIbasey\fP by \fIheight\fP so that \fIxmin\fP maps to -\fIbasex\fP/2, \fIxmax\fP maps to \fIbasex\fP/2, \fIymin\fP maps to -\fIbasey\fP/2, \fIymax\fP maps to \fIbasey\fP/2, \fIzmin\fP maps to 0 and \fIzmax\fP maps to \fIheight\fP.  The resulting world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude \fIalt\fP and azimuth \fIaz\fP.  This routine must be called before \fBplbox3\fP(3plplot) or \fBplot3d\fP(3plplot).  For a more complete description of three-dimensional plotting see the PLplot documentation.

.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
\fIbasex\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The x coordinate size of the world-coordinate box. 
.TP
\fIbasey\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The y coordinate size of the world-coordinate box. 
.TP
\fIheight\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The z coordinate size of the world-coordinate box. 
.TP
\fIxmin\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The minimum user x coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIxmax\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The maximum user x coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIymin\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The minimum user y coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIymax\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The maximum user y coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIzmin\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The minimum user z coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIzmax\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The maximum user z coordinate value. 
.TP
\fIalt\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The viewing altitude in degrees above the XY plane. 
.TP
\fIaz\fP (PLFLT, input) 
The viewing azimuth in degrees.  When \fIaz\fP=0, the observer is looking face onto the ZX plane, and as \fIaz\fP is increased, the observer moves clockwise around the box when viewed from above the XY plane.
