Bill Simpson points out that I messed up in my code (never make last minute
readability changes).  Here is a correct version (with the function changed
to a saddle.

	#  Create a simple surface  f(x,y) = x^2 - y^2

	nx <- 21
	ny <- 21
	x <- seq(-1, 1, length = nx)
	y <- seq(-1, 1, length = ny)
	z <- outer(x, y, function(x,y) x^2 - y^2)

	#  Average the values at the corner of each facet
	#  and scale to a value in [0, 1].  We will use this
	#  to select a gray for colouring the facet.

	hgt <- 0.25 * (z[-nx,-ny] + z[-1,-ny] + z[-nx,-1] + z[-1,-1])
	hgt <- (hgt - min(hgt))/ (max(hgt) - min(hgt))

	#  Plot the surface with the specified facet colours.

	persp(x, y, z, col = gray(1 - hgt), theta = 35)
	persp(x, y, z, col = cm.colors(10)[floor(9 * hgt + 1)], theta = 35)
