boxes

In 2D plots the boxes style draws a rectangle centered about the given x coordinate that extends from the x axis, i.e. from y=0 not from the graph border, to the given y coordinate. The width of the box can be provided in an additional input column or controlled by set boxwidth. Otherwise each box extends to touch the adjacent boxes.

In 3D plots the boxes style draws a box centered at the given [x,y] coordinate that extends from the plane at z=0 to the given z coordinate. The width of the box on x can be provided in a separate input column or via set boxwidth. The depth of the box on y is controlled by set boxdepth. Boxes do not automatically expand to touch each other as in 2D plots.
