First, let me say that the new graphics capabilities are stunning.
Slow, but stunning.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to them!
I had hoped that the improvements might include decent tools for
graphing 3D surfaces.  Nothing fancy, just being able to show how Y
varies over combinations of X1 and X2.  There are a few user-contributed
ado files, but nothing that easily produces publication-quality graphics
(certainly not at the level that version 8 does for other types of
graphics.)
Is this something that the new graphics capabilities would make easy to
develop (either by Stata or a user)?  Or, am I going to have to deepen
my acquaintance with GnuPlot (which is a great tool and only moderately
user-hostile-I just prefer to limit the number of tools I have to use
for a project).
Hoping someone can contribute some insights.  Thank you.
