GNUPLOT demo: animate.dem

#
#	demo to rotate whale image
#	Where gnuplot.rot is a gnuplot command file containing something like
#
#	  zrot=(zrot+10)%360
#	  set view xrot,zrot
#	  replot
#	  reread
#
#	The 'reread' command causes the current gnu command file to be reset 
#	to its starting point before further commands are read from it.  Since
#	the 'reread' command is in 'gnuplot.rot', the above four commands are
#	repeated indefinitely, causing the image to rotate about the Z axis.
