Scientific Graphics and Data Analysis

bo

set the relative sizes of the 3D axis box edges

SYNOPSIS

bo [x|.y|.z|.]

DESCRIPTION

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. Note that 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 one 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 the 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.
