similar to: plot contour map for irregular data points

Hello, I'd like to make a z(x,y) plot for irregularly spaced x,y. What are routines are available in R for this purpose? Thanks, Mark

Hi All, I'm having difficulty making a contour plot a would like some help. A standard contourplot can be made by having an x,y, and some matrix (shape x*y) with contents: x = 1:10 y = 1:10 cont <- matrix(runif(100,min=1,max=2),nrow=10,ncol=10) filled.contour(x,y,cont) Looks very nice. Sometimes data comes in a different format however. Basically an x and an y, and a vector z with all

Hello. Is there an easy-to-use contour plot function analogous to scatterplot3d that can draw handle a dataset of arbitrary (x,y,z) triplets? That is, say x, y, and z are each measured quanties, and exhibit neither order nor regularity. I looked at the lattice package function "contourplot" but it seems complicated, and it's not clear from the documentation whether it can

Hello, I have a x,y,z file.Z is not corresponding to a simple analytical function of x and y (see below). I am trying to find the minimum location of this surface and the z value corresponding to this location by a spline interpolation or from a polynomial fit. I tried with the akima package but as the location of the point I am looking for (the minimum) is outside of the convex hull it's

Dear R-Listers, I have spatial data on an equidistant rectangular grid, similar to topographic data. I know that there are quite a few R-packages or base functions that provide nice iso-contours plot, but I don't want a plot, just the smoothed isocontour line of ONE level (e.g. 10 mm). Data sets are large, so it would be preferable if the availability of regular grid data could be exploited,

Hi, one of the nice things about contour is that it labels all contour lines. contourplot only labels each particular elevation a single time. i.e., if there are two contour lines corresponding to z = 45, it will only label one of them. is there a way to get contourplot to automatically label all the contour lines, even those that are repeated? i ask because i want to plot contour plots *w/

Hi, I have done the interpolation for my data and I was able to create the contours in multipanel with the help of Pascal. Now, I want to clip the contour with the shapefile. I want only the portion of contour to be displayed which falls inside the boundary of the shapefile. The data mydata.csv can be found on https://www.dropbox.com/s/khi7nv0160hi68p/mydata.csv The data for shapefile can be

(I'm reposting this message because the original has not appeared after about 2 days. Sorry if it shows up twice.) Hello. First, thanks to those who responded to my recent inquiry about using contour() over arbitrary (x,y) by mentioning the interp() function in the akima package. That worked nicely. Now for a new question: I would like to use a pair of prediction intervals to

I have four large two-dimensional matrices of which I want to create contour plots. Something like filled.contour(<matrix>) contourplot(<matrix>) works but only gives me one plot at a time. If I combine the four matrices into one three-dimensional matrix, which I'll name "seven", there should be a way of doing something like this contourplot(seven[,,k] for k in 1 to 4)

Dear all, As a newbie in R I would like to do the following (simple?) thing: to plot a filled.contour plot over a map showing country boundaries (e.g. for Europe) What i do is: map('worldHires',xlim=c(-10,40),ylim=c(35,70),boundary = TRUE,border=0.1) map.axes() filled.contour(mslp, zlim=c(1000,1020),color.palette = colorRampPalette(c("blue", "white",

I understand that I need to have a (in this case) square matrix with all the data. But the question now is; - can the contourplot not interpolate the missing values or alternatively - I have fit a model to the z data (z = 100 + 0.5x + 0.5y). How can I make from this model a "square" matrix z to make a contour plot? Kind regards, Darius Blaszijk ----- Original Message ----- From:

Friends, I have two covariance matrices (m1 and m2) of same size (150x150). I used contourplot function to make contour plots individually (c1 and c2). I am interested in making one contourplot overlapping the two individual contours so that the portion of the plot above and below the diagonal can represent the c1 and c2. Someone suggest me how can i do the same. Is there any way that i can

Hello, I would like to make a contourplot of the following data; > x <- 1:10 > y <- 1:10 > z <- 100:110 By doing >contour(x,y,z) I get the following error; "Error in contour.default(x, y, z) : no proper `z' matrix specified" How do I fix this?? Kind regards, Datius Blaszijk [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

With "image" and "contour", one can get both colors and lines to enhance the image of a contour plot. What's the best way to do this with Lattice graphics? The following is one ugly hack, producing the desired result after much trial and error (R 1.9.1 alpha under Windows 2000): # setup DF <- expand.grid(x=1:3, y=1:3) DF$z <- (DF$x+DF$y) # Traditional

Hi all, I'm trying to draw a contour plot with rounded (smoothed) contour lines instead of sharp angles; when the grid consists of only a few points in x- and y- axis, the resulting contour is in facts rather ugly since very sharp angles may appear. I did not find any way to do it, by using either "contour" or "contourplot" (from the lattice package), I wonder if there

Petr, It works perfectly!

Hi All, I am trying to reproduce this using R instead.

Dear All, I would like to plot a scalar (e.g. a temperature) on a non-rectangular domain (or even better: I would simply like to be able to draw a contour plot on an arbitrary 2D domain). I wonder if there is any tool to achieve that with R. I did some online search in particular on the list archives, found several queries similar to this one but was not able to find any conclusive answer. I
