Hi everyone~ I'm trying to overlap two 3D graphs with two "window" command. But as the data varies, the graphs deform sometimes. I've tried to fix the z-axis by fixing ztics, but it didn't works. "_plotsiz" is designed for 2D graph, so it didn't help either.
Here is the link to the graph:

Is there actually a way to fix the length of z-axis in 3D graph? ?

The axmargin function can give you some control. It will allow you to narrow the x and y axes pretty easily. You can then turn off the second frame box and set of axes with _pframe and _paxes.
However, I think it will be much simpler and more straightforward to scale your final set of z data than it will be to fiddle with the axes.

Well. Because the data values of the deformed graph, which is called "N", is much smaller than the data of the other graph. If I put them on the same graph, the N data points will be all on the floor, and I wouldn't be able tell the difference among them.
In this simulation, the purpose is to see the distribution of "N"(green dots), and see if the green dots chase those blue & red dots. The relative value of green to blue dots is not relevant.

Did you mean multiplying "N" with a scaler? You'er absolutely right!! I didn't think of that because I was trying to plot "N" with "xyz", and blue & red data with "surface" before.
Thanks a lot!! ^^
I still need to control the length of z-axis, though. They got deformed from time to time even when there is only one layer of graph. Narrowing down the margin doesn't guarantee to give the right height of Z axis.
GAUSS staff should give user real control over the length of axes of 3D graph, instead of letting us struggle with it. That should have been a basic function!!!!
Looks like I need to write to them.
