[R] hist2d() function in R?

[Aleksey Naumov]

Dear R users,

I am just starting with R (v. 1.0.0) and I use Vehables & Ripley's
MASS book for examples.
In the intro session, there is an example of a 2D histogram on an 8x8
grid:

x <- rnorm(1000)
y <- rnorm(1000)
contour(hist2d(x,y,,,8,8))

R complains:

Error in contour(hist2d(x, y, , , 8, 8)) :
        couldn't find function "hist2d"

I looked for hist2d() in the manual (including the latest development
version), but didn't
find it. Is there such a function or a suitable substitute?

Thank you!
Aleksey
