I actually have several questions revolving around the generation of
wireframe plots.

 

The most pressing is that which is described by the subject line.

 

I am trying to produce a figure with x, y, and z labels, but only tick marks
on the x, and y axes.  I have supplied sample code below substituting the
volcano data set for my own such that you may run the code and see the
results.  Obviously the main title and labels don't make sense given the
data as a result.  To be clear, my problem is that I don't wish the z axis
tick mark to appear at all, not that they intersect with the Z label.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

CODE:

 

require(lattice)

trellis.par.set("axis.line", list(col="transparent"))

wireframe(volcano, 

          main="Correlated Beta Distributions",type='n',

          xlab=list("Egg Survival",rot=-18),

          ylab=list("Nestling Survival",rot=50),

          zlab=list("Density",rot=95),#zaxt="n",

          screen=list(z=-30,x=-60,y=0),light.source=c(90,-15,90),

          scales=list(arrows=F,distance=c(.75,.75,0.25),

                      cex=1,col="black"),

          aspect=c(1,.4),shade=T,colorkey=F,

          shade.colors = function(irr, ref, height, w = .4)

            grey(w * irr + (1 - w) * (1 - (1 - ref)^0.4)))
