Straight lines and gentle curves appear unacceptably wavy
in an S-PLUS perspective plot (S-PLUS 3.3 or 4.0 under
Windows 95). This is illustrated by the following function
"plot.persp.test".
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
Any suggestions on how to get around this?
******************
plot.persp.test <- function(){
# A straight line appears unacceptably wavy in an S-PLUS
# perspective plot. I've traced the problem to excessive
# round off in a single precision Fortran function, but I
# don't know enough about the algorithm to correct it.
#
# How can I get around this problem?

z0 <- array(c(0, 0, 1, 1), dim = c(2, 2))
persp0 <- persp(x = c(0, 1), y = c(0, 1), z = z0)
x1 <- seq(0, 1, length = 99)
persp1 <- perspp(x = x1, y = x1, z = x1, from.persp = persp0)
lines(persp1)
persp1 <- perspp(x = x1, y = x1^2, z = x1, from.persp = persp0)
lines(persp1)
}
