plw3d: Set up window for 3-d plotting
      Sets up a window for a three-dimensional surface plot within the
      currently defined two-dimensional window.  The enclosing box for the
      surface plot defined by
      xmin,
      xmax,
      ymin,
      ymax,
      zmin and
      zmax in user-coordinate
      space is mapped into a box of world coordinate size
      basex by
      basey by
      height so that
      xmin maps to
      -basex/2,
      xmax maps to
      basex/2,
      ymin maps to
      -basey/2,
      ymax maps to
      basey/2,
      zmin maps to
      0 and
      zmax maps to
      height.  The resulting
      world-coordinate box is then viewed by an observer at altitude
      alt and azimuth
      az.  This routine must be
      called before  plbox3 or plot3d.  For a more complete description
      of three-dimensional plotting see the Section called Three Dimensional Surface Plots in Chapter 3.
