Re: [gentoo-science] gnuplot + python

Hello Matias,

Some little insight even if I have no experience with gnuplot-py yet :
Try enabling the mouse clicks events by hitting the letter 'm' while in focus
of your plotting window.
This may enable the mouse rotation feature for your 3D plot .... or not :)
