# PM3D surfaces are not included in the calculation of hidden line removal.
# However, you can approximate this by drawing the surface twice,
# once "with pm3d" to produce the surface you want to show, and once 
# "with lines lt -2" to include the same surface in hidden3d calculations.
# The "lt -2" makes the hidden3d copy of the surface invisible.
