Subject: AMBER: process and plot matrix data

Dear VMD and AMBER users,

I know this is not an immediate VMD or AMBER related question, and I
would like to appologize for that. However, I would still like to appeal
to your experience in processing and analyzing MD generated data and ask
you a question. I have several sets of data that look like the one
below. I would like to plot this data as matrix data in the sense of
having first column as label on Y axis, second column as label on X axis
(they can be swapped of course) and then for each (X,Y) pair create a
point (symbol) on the graph colored with a colormap according to the
value on the 3rd column. The result would be a colored square similar to
those of 2D-RMSD plots.

I have tried several programs like gnuplot, matlab or grace but none
seems to be able to do this, or maybe I did not find a way to do this.
So, if anyone of you has any idea how to generate such a plot from data
looking as the set below, I would appreciate an advice.

I also have to say that I have many such sets, so ideally I would prefer
a solution that does not involve too much " mouse work "

Thanks
vlad
