similar to: spikes in contour and persp (PR#327)

I have this data set that both x & y are ordered vectors of length 600 & 700 respectively; z is a 600 by 700 matrix whose entry z[i,j] is either a missing value (indicated by 'NaN') or a real number between 0 and 1. The contour function contour(x,y,z) gives me a blank picture. I guess the reason is that most of z-entries are missing, only less than 1% are non missing.

Hello folks, I am a beginner R user. I have been able to make a 3D surface plot using 'persp'. The surface is made by a grid of lines emanating perpendicularly from each of the x and y axes at regular intervals. I can get rid of that grid by setting 'border=NA'. Can anyone suggest some ways to replace the grid with contour lines, to create a 3-dimensional contour map? Thanks

Hello folks, i'm a R beginner and i want to put in a same plot both contour lines and persp plot. For example, fn<-function(x,y){sin(x)+2*y} #this looks like a corrugated tin roof x<-seq(from=1,to=100,by=1) #generates a list of x values to sample y<-seq(from=1,to=100,by=1) #generates a list of y values to sample z<-outer(x,y,FUN=fn) #applies the funct. across the combos of x

I've been thinking of adding the possibility of including "z" among the axes to be logged in image, contour, and persp. In the first two, it would only affect where the breaks were set if they are calculated automatically; it would have a bigger effect in persp. For example, image(x, y, z, log="z") would set 12 colours evenly spaced on a log scale of the z values.

I have data saved in files on disk in following format x y z ------------------ 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1 3 2 2 4 Normally I read the file into a data frame, but suppose I do it this way: x<-seq(1,2) y<-seq(1,2) z<-seq(1,4) data<-data.frame(x,y,z) image(unique(data$x),unique(data$y),data$z, col=gray(0:19/19), xlab="x", ylab="y") I was helped at some point in the past on

R-sters: I'm interested in keeping data plotted in persp to preserve the wireframe look, I'd just like to change one of the lines drawn (in either the x or y direction) into a different color so that it stands out. Or is there some way to add a line (say, via lines(), or abline()) to a persp() plot at the designated x or y that would follow the z surface contour? I could add a line

Any ideas on adding text to persp plots? The perspp function from S-plus is not implemented. I'm using R1.3.0 on Win2000.

All, This was posted earlier but may have got lost in another thread. Can someone tell me how to independently alter the fontsize and position of labels on a persp plot?? I've tried using titles() and axes() but they seem to only apply to the standard plot() and contour plots (contour() and filled.contour(). Commands like text() seem only to add to the margin of the plot rather than

Dear All, I have been trying to to do this for a few days now. I can generate persp plot OK and can generate it in colour using the command persp(x,y,z,col=terrain.colors(20)) However, I was wondering if it is possible to shade the 3d surface like a contour plot. i.e. black for large z, white for small z, say Thanks in advance Colin

After "image" and "persp" would it be interesting to als have contour as a generic function?

I would like to plot a large (401 x 101) matrix of numbers as a perspective plot (with the columns and row indices as the y and x components and the values in the matrix at the z values). I try to convert it to a data frame, but it always errors out with "Figure margins too large". What does this mean? How can I get the plot generated? Thanks -- -Alex Morgan Homepage:

Dear WizaRds, I would like to create a 3d-plot with persp(). I sampled 17 points with xyz-coordinates (real-life example!), representing the peaks of the whole plane with "zero coordinates" x=3,y=3,z=3. My intention is to show which entries are above or below the "zero" level with persp() on a nicely created grid. I also tried scatterplot3d(), but, alas, I am unable

The following plot is a first approximation to what I need: *********************************** mu1 <- 0 mu2 <- 5 s <- 1 x <- seq(-2.5, 7.5, length = 41) y <- seq(-2.5, 2.5, length = 41) f <- function(x,y){ term1 <- 1/(2*pi*sqrt(s*s)) term2 <- -1/2 term3 <- (x - mu1)^2/s term4 <- (y - mu1)^2/s term5 <- (x - mu2)^2/s term1*(.5 * exp(term2*(term3 + term4)) + .5 *

Greetings, I have what I hope is a simple question. I would like to change my contour interval on the vis.gam( plot.type="contour") in the mgcv package. Is this a situation where I need to modify the function or is there a default value I can change? Thanks

Dear all; Does anyone know how to add grid lines to a persp plot? I've tried using lines(trans3d..) but the lines of course are superimposed into the actual 3d surface and what I need is something like the plot shown in the following link: http://thermal.gg.utah.edu/tutorials/matlab/matlab_tutorial.html I'll appreciate any ideas Thanks PM

From: Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> Subject: Re: R-beta: Contour package There's still no "persp" (perspective plots), even though Ross once told about a ``prototype'' hidden somewhere in his private code. Interesting coincidence... Yesterday I pulled out some very old pascal code I wrote to do perspective plots of surfaces. I hope to have a
