Dear Gmt users,

I would like to join in the discussion concerning the " Error ellipse",
asking you if someone knows a way, in GMT, to plot 3D error ellipses.

I have hypocenters with error bars (in km), along the 3 orthogonal  
directions, and would like to know if it's possible to plot a  
3-dimensional ellipse (through a 3D view) representing, for each  
hypocenter, the relative error bars.

I'm using a script like the following:

psxyz epicenters_3D_2.txt -R12.5/13/41.5/41.8/0/30  
-Jl13/42/39/45/1:100000 -B0.5g0.5 -Se -E135/15 -Jz1 -W -G250/250/250  
-K -O>3D_ellipse_sez.ps

but I have, as result, only a 3D view of the ellipses on the horizontal plane.

Am I insisting on a result  that cannot be obtained or I'm using the  
wrong procedure?

Thank you in advance.
Federica Ferrarini
