I'm completely new at R... I have sinkhole survey data (lat, long, and elevation) and have been trying to plot a rotatable 3d plot for several hours... cannot get it right. Examples I see tend to be grid data (one elevation value per grid cell); however, my data are more random (known elevations at known (but random) x-y positions). Data format is tab separated, i.e.: lat long elev 34 43 2 36.8 32.54 6.2 ...etc... please help! arik -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/RGL-package-surface-plot-tp4645642.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You should help us per the posting guide.... reproducible sample data, code you
have tried that you thought would work, why you think it did not, output of
sessionInfo function...
Note that you can learn a lot by doing this exercise, your problem may not be
where you think it is (or where we might guess it is)

However, given the environmental nature of your problem, you might also look at the geoR package, which implements kriging, one of the more comon fitting methods for environmental data. There's a discussion of using that for prediction of a grid and a subsequent (base graphics) 3-D plot at http://streaming.stat.iastate.edu/~stat506/notes/ordkrigeexamp.pdf S Ellison> I'm completely new at R...
