I have data saved in files on disk in following format x y z ------------------ 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 3 2 2 4 Normally I read the file into a data frame, but suppose I do it this way: x<-seq(1,2) y<-seq(1,2) z<-seq(1,4) data<-data.frame(x,y,z) image(unique(data$x),unique(data$y),data$z, col=gray(0:19/19), xlab="x", ylab="y") I was helped at some point in the past on image(). However I can't figure out how to make a contour plot or a persp plot. The help pages don't give an example similar to mine. Unfortunately Venables & Ripley don't discuss contour or persp either (and maybe S-Plus differs from R anyway). Thanks very much for any help!
