Plot 3d scattered data using gnuplot

Hi I just got some 3d scattered data (the data name is just data.txt) which look like the following:

6.94335e-15 3.70286e-15 -1.44815e-15
.........

the 1st,2nd and 3rd column represent x,y and z axis, respectively. I'd like to use splot command to plot these data. Can anyone kindly give some suggestions? Thanks.

Since your data is nicely formatted, you could start with

splot 'data.txt'

If you want to get fancy, you can add some options to change how it is plotted:

splot 'data.txt' with points pointtype 7

What kind of suggestions are you looking for?
