I've seen the inverse of your situation, where a given space curve's projections on the coordinate planes are plotted along with the space curve itself, referred to as a "shadow plot". – J. M. May 12 '12 at 16:33
Another example: pacifict.com/Examples/Gallery42.html "Complex functions of a real parameter A complex function of a real parameter can be drawn as a curve in 3D." – endolith Jun 30 '12 at 1:31
