Hi Neil,

from the documentation:

http://geuz.org/gmsh/doc/texinfo/gmsh-full.html#SEC42

...
By default, Gmsh treats all post-processing views as three-dimensional plots, i.e., draws the scalar, vector and tensor primitives (points, 
lines, triangles, tetrahedra, etc.) in 3D space. But Gmsh can also represent each post-processing view containing scalar points as 
two-dimensional ("X-Y") plots, either space- or time-oriented:

     * in a `2D space' plot, the scalar points are taken in the same order as they are defined in the post-processing view: the abscissa of 
the 2D graph is the curvilinear abscissa of the curve defined by the point series, and only one curve is drawn using the values associated 
with the points. If several time steps are available, each time step generates a new curve;
     * in a `2D time' plot, one curve is drawn for each scalar point in the view and the abscissa is the time step.
...

Cheers,

Dave
