2D projection (set view map)

An important special case of the splot command is to map the Z coordinate onto a 2D surface by projecting the plot along the Z axis. See set view map (p. [*]). This plot mode can be used to generate contour plots and heat maps. This figure shows contours plotted once with plot style lines, once with style labels.
