In order to plot a surface, the z values need to be arranged in a
matrix, with the x and y values labelling rows and columns. If you have
a single z value for each (x,y) pair, you can do a 3d scatterplot using
the scatterplot3d package, or the cloud function in the lattice package.
You can also convert them to a surface using interp from the akima
package, and then they'll work with persp.
