[R] 3-D response surface using wireframe()

[David Winsemius]

A search with the following strategy:

RSiteSearch("lattice wireframe rotate axes")

Followed by adding requests to search earlier years' archives produced  
this link which has a further link to a document that answers most of  
your questions, at least the ones that are comprehensible:

Two z axes? How interesting!
