I can confirm the bug shown in comment #1. I think there are two issues:

  • z-fighting between grid lines and (1) plot lines or (2) axes main lines (y-axis in second image). The workaround is to either avoid using grids in 3D plots or manually change zlim so that grid and plot positions don't overlap (won't solve(2)), e.g:


...
ylim([0.95 2.05])

  • Even without any grid line or background axes plane, curves with high definition have spurious white pixels (onscreen and in raster printout). When the anti-aliasing is turned off, this effect disappears as noted in comment 9 of bug #54554. My guess is that the OpenGL rasterizer has hard time deciding what to do at line segment junctions.


Marking bug as OpenGL specific.

Hello,

I tried your code and printed the figure using QT, FLTK and GnuPlot (see attached figures images)

It seems that only GnuPlot was NOT affected by the issue (see the red curve)

I have an issue using plot3.

I have plotted a sine curve i a 3d plot with a stepsize of 0.001 s and a length of 10 s.
Hugh parts of the curves are not visible.
With a stepsize of 0.1 s the hole curve is visible.
The effect depend on the stepsize of the data and the view angle.

A Octave script to reproduce the issue is appended to this ticket.
