Hi,
I am trying to create a perspective plot with Time on the x-axis,  
Underlying Price on the y-axis, and Option Price on the z-axis.  But  
I don't like the way my x-axis is setup.  Right now, Time is this  
sequence.
Time = seq(from = 1/52, to = 1, by=1/52)
That results in the x-axis going from 0 at the back, to 1 near the  
foreground corner.(If that makes any sense)  I want to do the exact  
opposite.  When I try this sequence:
Time = seq(from = 1, to = 1/52, by=-1/52)
I get this error message:
Error in persp.default(x = Time, y = S, z = Price, xlab = "Time",  
ylab = "S",  :
	increasing 'x' and 'y' values expected
So it seems that I can't use a descending sequence for my perspective  
plot.  Is that true?  Is there a way to work around this?
persp(x=Time, y=S, z=Price, xlab="Time", ylab="S", zlab=TypeFlag, ...)
Essentially, what I'm trying to create is something that looks like  
this.

You can see how Time on the x-axis diminishes as it moves to the  
foreground corner.
Thanks in advance.
