2d fence plot w/ variable color

Hi, list.

I am looking at http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.2/surface1.html, specifically the 'fence plot'.  I'd like to apply that to some chlorophyll traces.

I've been beating my head and scouring the net to see how I could take something like that and turn it into a 2d image but not lose the data.  I've gone through many hands on iterations, and nothing turns out quite right.

In the case of that example, I would want to drag the image down such that the X and Y axes would appear normally as a 2d chart, but the -1 to 1 Z axis data would be color-coded by a smooth gradient that I might see had I splot-ted w/ a palette.

In other words, I'd end up w/ 10 vertical lines on a 2d chart, but these vertical lines would each have multiple colors within each one to represent the Z value.  Each line would be like a variably colored gummyworm.

Ha, leave it to google images to give me an example http://tinyurl.com/yfml25m.

I hope that description makes some sense.

Many thanks,

Charlton

change the 'fence plot' example a little bit:

reset
sinc(u,v) = sin(sqrt(u**2+v**2)) / sqrt(u**2+v**2)
set zrange [-1:1]
set xrange [-5:5]; set yrange [-5:5]
set parametric
set isosamples 2,33
xx=-5; dx=(4.99-(-4.99))/9
x0=xx; xx=xx+dx
x1=xx; xx=xx+dx
x2=xx; xx=xx+dx
x3=xx; xx=xx+dx
x4=xx; xx=xx+dx
x5=xx; xx=xx+dx
x6=xx; xx=xx+dx
x7=xx; xx=xx+dx
x8=xx; xx=xx+dx
x9=xx; xx=xx+dx
splot [][v=-4.99:4.99] \
        x0, v, sinc(x0,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x1, v, sinc(x1,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x2, v, sinc(x2,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x3, v, sinc(x3,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x4, v, sinc(x4,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x5, v, sinc(x5,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x6, v, sinc(x6,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x7, v, sinc(x7,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x8, v, sinc(x8,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle, \
        x9, v, sinc(x9,v) with lines lw 5 palette notitle
