Subject: [Rd] persp + postscript/pdf (PR#1419)
Message-ID: <200203301135.MAA01348@pubhealth.ku.dk>

This is rather a documentation bug which means you are misusing persp().

The shading is done in the colour given by the `col' argument, and that
defaults to NULL.  What NULL means is undocumented, but it appears to mean
par("bg"), and that is transparent on postscript/pdf.  Set a value for
`col' and it works as you expect.

I've changed the default to col = "white" and also ensured that
transparent colours are treated as transparent.
