I'm not a dev, I'm doing this for a school project. I'm trying to put the following dataset into a surface plot in windows gnuplot. qt type terminal, if that's important.

As you can see, it's a huge set of data. Pulled directly from an image and into a csv file, which I converted to json.
When I type in "splot 'C:\Users\tyler\ESRP Data\sampleOutput.json'", this is what I get.
As you can see, there's only a single line, when there should be something approaching an intensity chart in a 3 dimensional space. Is it a problem with the data? Do I need a specific command to do this?
It would help if you attached an example of your image data to the question, and also if you provided a link to a plot similar to the one you are trying to create. There are many different styles one might use to represent a surface. I will attempt to guess at a possible solution.
Input image (scribbled in GIMP and saved as a png image):
Gnuplot surface plot:
set border -1
unset tics
# surface represented by colored lines in 3D
# down-sample by 4x in each dimension to get an interpretable surface
set palette defined (0 "blue", 1 "white")
splot 'scribble.png' binary filetype=png every 4:4:4 using 1:2:3:3 with lines lc palette
