title: Making a 3D surface from time series data in R
body: <p>I have a large data set which I would like to make a 3D surface from. I would like the x-axis to be the date, the y-axis to be the time (24h) and the z-axis (height) to be a value I have ($). I am a beginner with R, so the simpler the better! </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.quantmod.com/examples/chartSeries3d/" rel="nofollow">http://www.quantmod.com/examples/chartSeries3d/</a> has a nice example, but the code is way to complicated for my skill level! </p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated - anything I have researched so far needs to have the data sorted, which is not suitable I think.</p>
