Thanks for the hint with the color. In my script I had concatenated x, y, z in
the wrong direction such that size(color,1) was not the same as size(x,1).

I don't get the errors due to an empty color spec though.
Strangely on a different computer I sometimes still get the gnuplot errors.
Could it be there is some check missing about the color vector fitting to the
data?
It would be nice if the gnuplot error were more meaningfull to help find the
cause for it.

I couldn't get the hg sources compile because my autoconf is 2.59 and lowering
the requirement in configure.in caused configure to be unhappy about my g77.
Since I for now I don't need them I'll wait for a new release including a
configure already.

Thanks for the help
