I took a look at gnuplot, but it doesn't do what I need it to do. I'm not aware of a package that does this, though this doesn't mean one doesn't exist. I'd probably hit a more specifically stats-oriented community for further information (say, stats-l), or do some serious googling. There's the scientific applications for GNU/Linux page, highly recommended. Another approach would be to utilize a different graphing option -- bar graphs are fine and well, but you might want to look to stacked bars, or a line plot, if your data present more clearly. Frankly, I'd find the 3D effect superfluous. It can also make direct comparisons of data more difficult. Though any application which utilizes 3D plots calls into question whether or not the accurate presentation is an intent. Peace. -- Karsten M.
