Thanks for reply. I need to first draw the map of USA a perspective
plot.
I guess thats where my problem was.
Try something like this:
library(maps)
states <- map("state", plot=F)
x1 <- rep(0, 3)
x2 <- rep(0, 3)
maxz <- 1
z <- matrix(c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, maxz, maxz, maxz), 3, 3)
x1[-2] <- states$range[1:2]
x2[-2] <- states$range[3:4]
x1[2] <- x1[3] - 1e-6
x2[2] <- x2[3] - 1e-6
pmat <- persp(x1, x2, z, xlab = "", ylab = "", zlab="", axes = F,
theta=0, phi=20, d=10)
lines(trans3d(states$x, states$y, 0, pmat))
latitude <- -90
longitude <- 37
myz <- 0.6
lines(trans3d(rep(latitude, 2), rep(longitude, 2), c(0, myz), pmat),
col=2)
where trans3d is as defined in the examples for persp().
Hope this helps,
Ray Brownrigg

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of

as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the

sure
where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers,
ideas, I will be grateful.
TIA,

How to "drop bars" with persp() has been described on R-help yesterday
or today, please check the mailing list's archives.
