R help - Aug 2008 - Axes in filled.contour plots

I am attempting to create a contour plot using R with this code:
> contour <- as.matrix(read.csv("contour.csv", row.names=1,
header=TRUE))
> library(gplots)
> filled.contour(contour, main="Flume 1 Flow Velocities")
Now this produces the image/plot that I am looking for perfectly. However,
the both axes only go from 0 to 1 instead on of using the row and column
names. To rectify this I tried this:
> filled.contour(contour, axes=FALSE, frame.plot=TRUE)
> matrix.axes <- function(contour)
+ x <- (1:dim(contour)[1] - 1) / (dim(contour)[1] -
1)
> axis(side=1, at=x, labels=rownames(contour), las=2)
Error in axis(side = 1, at = x, labels = rownames(contour), las = 2) : 
  'at' and 'labels' lengths differ, 14 !=
10
> x <- (1:dim(contour)[2] - 1) / (dim(contour)[2] - 1)
> axis(side=2, at=x, labels=colnames(contour), las=2)

This did two things. Because I labeled the axes as FALSE, the original axes
labels were removed but the legend labels were also removed which was
undesirable. Also, I was able to label with Y axis with the correct label
using this script but the X axis remained blank. I don't really understand
the error message and I was hoping somebody might be able to shed some
light. So the question is how do I make the column names appear on a contour
plot and how do I apply my own labels without losing the legend label? 

I've posted what my .csv file looks like here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am still struggling on how edit axes on a filled contour plot. I have
managed to figure out how to place labels on the key of this graph but how
to place the axes I want on this plot still eludes me. This command produces
the plot I am looking for however as mentioned before these axes only go
from 0 to 1.  
> filled.contour(contour, frame.plot=TRUE, color=terrain.colors)
If I try to set the xlim and ylim the plot itself no longer appears but
simply the key. Moreover, when I set the limits and add the axes in this way
the axes spill over into the key.
> axis(side=1, at=c(10, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, 150, 170, 190))
Is there any way to manually replace the given axis label with one of my
choosing? That is, the 0 to 1 labels will correspond easily to the labels I
would like to place on the graph. The tick marks are conveniently already in
the right place. For example, can I make 0.6 appear as 100 instead? I don't
really need to change the axis at all but rather just the labels.I have
spent considerable time trying to figure this out but I am still having
trouble. Sorry if this is ridiculously simple.
