# Note: 3D boxes are implemented via the pm3d code so in order to
# get proper occlusion of far-away boxes by nearer ones you must use
#   "set pm3d depthorder" rather than "set hidden3d"
# In version 5 it was also necessary to use
#   "set pm3d border lc black" rather than "set style fill border lc black"
# but this is not true in the current version.
