[R] "cloud" function doesn't plot

[Simon Blomberg]

Actually, there IS a search facility, although you have to look for it. A search on "cloud" returned 5 pages. If you type
?cloud, you can see that you need to provide a formula as well as a dataset. So if your variables are x,y,z in dataframe dat, then cloud(z~x*y, data=dat) should work.

Cheers,

Simon.
