Dear R-listers,
I have a data set which combine population (site name), longitude,
latitude, altitude, initial (for flowering of a plant), and end (also
for flowering of the same plant) of each site.
Now, I want to make contour plot to display spatial pattern of the
initial or end of the
flowering especially, I still can not plot that, although I have
gotten some helps from this list. I need to know how can I process my
data so as to meet the ascending order of X and Y. And, I need to know
if if contour can handle Date variable.
Please give me some directions on that. Thank you in advance.
data and codes used are as followed:
