[R] Reproducing a 3d yield curve plot from New York Times
I am trying to closely reproduce the 3d yield curve chart that showed up in the New York Times in March, as seen here http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/03/19/upshot/3d-yield-curve-economic-growth.html?ref=economy&abt=0002&abg=0 Working with chartSeries3d0 gets me close, but not quite there : library(xts)

I'm interested in figuring out how to smooth the color transitions, add the grid/gridlines and use a different set of color gradients when the values are negative. Also, I realize that my colors transition along the wrong axis (1m, 3m, etc) rather than along y. Thanks in advance. I've tried to find a reference to this in the archives and have come up empty. As well, I've tried to make this reproducible. Matt

[R] Reproducing a 3d yield curve plot from New York Times
At the bottom you asked for package recs: Karline Soetaert's (excuse any misspelling) plot3D package should be examined. I didn't find the fine-grained example that I remember seeing but this is an example in RGL code: http://markmail.org/message/wgetbk5h3f7zrfd4 -- David.
