3D scatter plots [message #6226]

I have some irregularly spaced data that I would like to plot
as a 3D scatter plot before I grid the data and plot it as a
surface. What PV-Wave function do you use? "Plots" looks like
it would work but it draws a line between consecutive points.

Why ask why ...?

That is just the way IDL works in the PLOT and PLOTS commands:

PSYM=0 Draws connecting lines only (default)
PSYM=+n Draws symbol "n" only
PSYM=-n Draws symbol "n" and connecting lines
