Sets up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the currently defined two-dimensional window. The enclosing box for the surface plot defined by xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin and zmax in user-coordinate space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size basex by basey by height so that xmin maps to -basex/2, xmax maps to basex/2, ymin maps to -basey/2, ymax maps to basey/2, zmin maps to 0 and zmax maps to height. The resulting world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude alt and azimuth az. This routine must be called before plbox3 or plot3d. For a more complete description of three-dimensional plotting see the Section called Three Dimensional Surface Plots in Chapter 3.
