Hi, Finally, I have some time to work on my GSoC application (I was very busy lately), so I would like to consult some ideas. The first thing to do would be to implement the axes, work on ui, and generally do some finishing touches for your plugin. Now, how about adding a different data input mode for surface plot? I'm thinking of something more like gnuplot is doing, i.e. that user could give a set of points, instead of a height map. I think that this is a nice feature to have, especially for scientists, who would like to easily visualize their data, and this type of format is quite common. If this is not enough, I could implement some other desired plot types, if time permits. What do you think about it? Thank you in advance for all the comments.
