[R] Plotting a 3D surface

[Spencer Graves]

      Venables and Ripley (2002) Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th 
ed. (Springer, ch.4, pp. 76 & 94) provide an example doing just that.  
Under Windows, open "C:\Program 
Files\R\rw2000pat\library\MASS\scripts\ch04.R", and run that file. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
