Hello,

This code builds a simple example of 2 wireframes :

require(lattice)
x <- c(1:10)
y <- c(1:10)
g <- expand.grid(x = 1:10, y = 1:10, gr = 1:2)
g$z <- c(as.vector(outer(x,y,"*")), rep(50,100))
wireframe(z ~ x * y, data = g, groups = gr, scales = list(arrows = FALSE))

However, the intersection between the wireframes is not properly drawn. Is there a way to fix this with lattice, or should I use another package more suitable for this?

Exactly what "not properly drawn" means is not stated. If it is the jagged intersection, then expanding the grid would seem to be one way forward. Here's 100 x 100:

> g <- expand.grid(x = seq(1,10, len=100), y = seq(1,10, len=100), gr = 1:2)
> g$z <- c(as.vector(outer(x,y,"*")), rep(50,10000))
> wireframe(z ~ x * y, data = g, groups = gr, scales = list(arrows = FALSE))

You do get some Moir`e effects, but the jagged intersection is no longer visible and the curvature is visible.

With 50*50 points it has a less obvious curvature to the intersection (but four times as fast).

require(lattice)
x <-seq(1,10, len=50); y <- seq(1,10, len=50)
g <- expand.grid(x = x, y = y, gr = 1:2)
g$z <- c(as.vector(outer(x,y,"*")), rep(50,length(x)*length(y)))
wireframe(z ~ x * y, data = g, groups = gr, scales = list(arrows = FALSE))

Or you could emphasize the curvature by drawing it in. I'm not the guy to do that, but there is an example of adding contours to a wireframe plot in Sarkar's book. Figure 13.7:
