[R] wireframe - add data points

Dear Deepayan,

I am sorry to bother you again, but I have some more questions on the R
wireframe :

- when plotting an interaction between two variables, originating from a
logistic model with several factors : what happens to the other variables (ie
the ones not plotted)? Are they set to 0? Or to their mean?

- the script to add points to the wireframe works fine now. However, I'd
like to add another set of points to the wireframe (with a different symbol).
How should I proceed to do this? I tried to add an additional panel.3d.wireframe
and panel.3dwire statement, but apparantly I am making some kind of mistake.

Many thanks,



Diederik

It should help you: as the message suggests, pts$x etc. are factors
(I'm guessing because of the use of commas for the decimal point),
whereas you want them to be numeric. In other words, the problem is
not in your wireframe code, it's in your data preprocessing.
