Hi All, Thankyou for your sugestions, I Look through some other posts and learnt about the persp() function.
So I ended up using; x <- seq(0, 1, len = 20) y <- seq(0, 1, len = 20) model = function (x, y){ x+y} z=outer(x, y ,model); persp(x,y,z,theta=30,phi=30,ticktype="detailed") Worked a real treat.
