I have a paid ``volunteer'' who started work yesterday. His job will include upgrading contour, image, persp etc. In addition I hope that he will also add some mapping facilities along the lines of GMT (using their shoreline database).
Great!
Now would be a good time to make suggestions about desirable features.
- ability to save and re-plot contours (e.g., for doing contours with annotation, or selecting different pieces of a contour "object") - a good way to save the state of the last perspective used (in S-PLUS 3.3 and earlier you have to keep a "perspective" object around and pass it with every call - flexible ways of specifying 3-D objects to add to a perspective plot, grids for back and sides of plot space, etc. I always found the S-PLUS 3-D plotting routines klugey and fragile (for example, you had to play around a lot with margins a lot in non-obvious ways just to get things to show up on the plot) and it would/will be lovely to have open, robust 3-D plotting primitives.
I assume that means S 3-D plotting routines: the last five years have brought Trellis and Axum versions to S-PLUS. Interactive rotation of perspective plots would be a great boon, as would shading options for perspective plots, including contouring on such plots.
