[R] Creating 3D Gaussian Plot

[Laura Quinn]

My apologies.

With further apologies for the poor graphics, this link demonstrates the
sort of 3d mesh which I am hoping to replicate - I would like to be able
to replicate a number of these of varying intensity. Demonstrating
different levels of potential via the "steepness" of the slopes.

I then wish to pick a number of grid points at random from the output to
perform a further analysis upon.

I hope this makes things a little clearer!

Again, any help gratefully received, thank you.
