I would like a 3d plot of a matrix such that individual trapezoids that make up the surface are colored according to the z-value of that point (or preferably the midpoint of its four corners, or something similar). MS Excel has something like that.
I know that persp can have an nx by ny matrix its "col" argument, I just don't know how to generate that matrix. To calculate the midpoint of the tiles for the matrix z, I could use something like zz <- (z[-1,-1] + z[-1,-nrow(z)] + z[-ncol(z),-1] + z[-ncol(z),-nrow(z)])/4 but I don't know how to assign a color to that value. For example if I have boundaries <- c(0, .5, 1, 1.5) and colors <- c("red", "green", "blue") I am looking for a function that assigns red to the elements of zz between 0 and .5, etc. Alternative solutions are welcome, maybe somebody has already wrote a library that does the whole thing neatly.
