Isocontour-lines of spatial data on a rectangular grid (not plots!)
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, and the fact that I only need ONE isocontour line. Polynomial fits are not adequate, but loess works nicely for the plots. Akima/interp might be a little too...

how to derive true surface area from `computeContour3d' (misc3d package) -- follow up
...maximum of the array. so I believed that the rendered cube actually is the "outer surface" of the defined object in the example provided in the manpage. I know understandt it's an absolute level and `example(computeContour3d)' consequently displays some "interior" isocontour. this explains all my apparent errors. I believe the manpage would benefit from a slight clarification that `level' actually is an absolute, not a relative/fractional threshold. apologies for the noise. j. ps: it of course would still be nice, if the surface area (or a vector containing...

finding contours in a matrix
Hi, I have matrix of sea bottom depths that I am plotting in R with the function 'image'. I am particularly interested in the 200m depth contour (I'm using 'distance from this feature' as a covariate in a model) and would like to extract the data at evenly spaced points along it. I can easily superimpose a line at 200m using the function 'contour'. What I want to
