[R] Hidden line algorithms and a different kind of waterfall

[stephen sefick]

what is being represented here that is not on a regular spectrogram?
I am not being crass I can't figure out what I am looking at.  Maybe a
contour plot- wouldn't be in 3d but would represent the same
information.  I am envisioning something like a wavelet time scale
diagram...   Just a thought.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
