Hi, all yet again. Are there any scientists or engineers here? I'm in
dire need of a freeware program that can produce true 3-dimensional graphs
of data. For example, I have 2 factors and 1 response and would like to
graph how this response varies with changes in the 2 factors. I'd be
plotting the response in the z axis (upwards) and the 2 factors on the x
and y axes (along the screen and into the screen, respectively).

TIA,

Bob

You should try something like GNUplot (http://www.gnuplot.info/) that
does the trick neatly. I'm not that familiar with it myself, but you
might want to check out http://www.cs.uni.edu/Help/gnuplot/index.html
for a tutorial and some cool examples.
Another solution would be something like POVRay
(http://www.povray.org/), but you will need to do some scripting to
transform the data into .pov scripts.
