Plotting multi-dimensional data.
}
\description{
Functions for visualising 2-D and 3-D data.
Many of the functions are extensions of R's \link{persp} or \link{image} function.
Other packages that provide visualisation of 3-D data (and which might be better suited) are:
\code{rgl, scatterplot3D, misc3D}.

Functions that are based on the \link{persp} function:
\itemize{
\item \link{persp3D}: an extended version of persp.
\item \link{ribbon3D}: a perspective plot as ribbons.
\item \link{hist3D}: 3-D histograms.
\item \link{scatter3D}, \link{points3D}, \link{lines3D}: colored points, lines, ... in 3-D.
\item \link{slice3D}, \link{slicecont3D}: slices from a full 3-D data set.
\item \link{isosurf3D}: isosurfaces from a full 3-D data set as triangles.
\item \link{voxel3D}: isosurfaces from a full 3-D data set as points.
\item \link{surf3D}, \link{spheresurf3D}: 3-D shapes or surfaces.
\item \link{arrows3D}: arrows in 3-D.
\item \link{segments3D}: line segments in 3-D.
\item \link{polygon3D}: 3-D polygons.
\item \link{box3D}, \link{border3D}, \link{rect3D}: boxes and rectangles in 3-D.
\item \link{text3D}: labels in 3-D.
}
Functions defined on the \link{image} function:
\itemize{
\item \link{image2D}, for an image function to visualise 2-D or 3-D data.
\item \link{ImageOcean}: an image of the ocean's bathymetry.
}
Other plotting functions:
\itemize{
\item \link{contour2D}, for a contour function to visualise 2-D data and that have a color key.
\item \link{scatter2D}: colored points, lines, ... in 2-D.
\item \link{text2D}, \link{arrows2D}, \link{segments2D}, \link{rect2D},
\link{polygon2D} for other 2D functions that have a color key.
}
Colors and colorkey:
\itemize{
\item \link{colkey}: adds a color legend.
\item \link{jet.col}, \link{ramp.col}, \link{gg.col}, \code{alpha.col}: suitable colors, shade and lighting.
}
Utility functions:
\itemize{
\item \link{mesh}: to generate rectangular (x, y) or (x, y, z) meshes.
}
Data sets:
\itemize{
\item \link{Oxsat}: 3-D data set with the ocean's oxygen saturation values.
\item \link{Hypsometry}: 2-D data set with the worlds elevation
and ocean's bathymetry.
}
}
\note{
Some of the functions based on \code{persp} will not work properly for all
values of \code{phi} (which turns the plots upside-down).
This is because an assumption is made as to how the perspective plots are viewed.
