[R] Plotting a 3D surface

[John Fox]

Dear Lawrence,

You might take a look at the scatter3d function in the Rcmdr package, which
uses the rgl package. scatter3d() includes some smoothing, but not by
ksmooth() or locpoly(), so you might have to alter it for your purposes, but
that shouldn't be hard.

I hope that this helps,
 John
