I am new to R and what to find out which package would be best to create a surface plot, 2d or 3d if possible. I have a matrix (depth.dat) which has over 15k depth measurements from an ultrasonic corrosion mapping application. These depth measurements only have one axis (x) but I have used Octave and gnuplot providing decent results, but R seems to have a web interface with PERL which is what I am looking for.

For rotatable surfaces, persp3d in the rgl package. (See example(persp3d) for some examples.) Duncan Murdoch

- 3D Graph Surface and single points (eg wireframe with points)
- How to put different color in some portion of a surface plot?
- How to add/draw a persp3d graph to a plot with an existing surface/graph
- 3D-surface colour based on the values of X or Y data points
