Syntax:
set {x|x2|y|y2|z}zeroaxis { {linestyle | ls <line_style>} | { linetype | lt <line_type>} { linewidth | lw <line_width>}} unset {x|x2|y|y2|z}zeroaxis show {x|y|z}zeroaxis
By default, these options are off. The selected zero axis is drawn with a line of type 5#5line_type6#6 and width 5#5line_width6#6 (if supported by the terminal driver currently in use), or a user-defined style 5#5line_style6#6.
If no linetype is specified, any zero axes selected will be drawn using the axis linetype (linetype 0).
set zeroaxis is equivalent to set xzeroaxis; set yzeroaxis. Note that the z-axis must be set separately using set zzeroaxis.
Examples:
To simply have the y=0 axis drawn visibly:
set xzeroaxis
If you want a thick line in a different color or pattern, instead:
set xzeroaxis linetype 3 linewidth 2.5
