Persp plotting of kernel density estimate.

Dear All, I am trying to visualize the surface of a bivariate kernel density estimate. I have a vector of bivariate observations(x,y), and a function which computes the kernel density estimate z corresponding to each observation. I cannot generate the (x,y) data in the ascending order needed by persp(x,y,z). I was wondering whether there is an R version of the S function interp.
There is, in package akima. But, you really want to be interpolating in the kde: both MASS and KernSmooth have functions to do 2D kde for you.
