The zfac could be changed, but I think the main issue is the "adj" factor
that scales the x, y and z values to get a nice 3D plot. It may be possible
to do this differently, and I will try to do that; I had overlooked this
problem (of wrong coordinates on the axis, and not being able to correctly
plot vector data on top). Thanks for pointing this out,
