You could consider wireframe from lattice, but this has many caveats. For an example, see http://dsarkar.fhcrc.org/lattice/book/figures.html?chapter=06;figure=06_18;theme=stdColor;code=right For that matter, whats wrong with persp? -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
