similar to: RFC: log='z' for image, contour, persp?

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'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

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

The following matrix of normed likelihoods should give a smooth surface but instead gives a series of spikes in both persp and contour (the dim labels are the axes values). I know an algorithm cannot be infallible but it would be nice to have some parameters to control the smoothing. (It takes close to an hour to produce this matrix on a Pentium II 300mh. It was after that that it crashed with the

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

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

Hello, I am trying to get a surface plot of a data set that looks like the following, 1 2 5.6 5 9 2.4 9 8 9.8 ... to (60,000 rows down) From my homework, the persp function only works with evenly spaced data points with the z data beeing in a matrix. my data is not in that format. the wireframe fxn gives me an error, no applicable method for "wireframe" the

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.

Is it possible to plot unevenly spaced data with image/contour function? Below is an example of the type uneven data that I'm trying to plot with image/contour functions. For example, I would like to have the x-distance on the x-axis and y-distance on the y-axis and then the temperature values determine the color used. Unfortunately this data was sampled such that it is not evenly

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

Hello, I have a problem in drawing a 3d graphic. I simplified the program to show you the problem. I have a text file with hundreds of entries in 3 columns. I scaned these columns with matrix(scan). Then, I transformed some datas. Now I have the datas in h,x,y. I created a new matrix to use persp . But I got an error. The reason is probably the same length of x,y,z. But what can I do the draw

Dear R colleagues, I am trying to plot some geophysical data as a filled contour on a continent map and so far the guidance from the R-help archives has been invaluable. The only bit that still eludes me is the colour key (legend) coming with filled.contour: I prefer to generate my own colour palette, mainly based on the quantiles of tenths of the data in order to capture the whole range (of

Hi all!   My question is how to colour pixels by z value in persp plot in raster package. Here is an example:     x <- seq(-1.95, 1.95, length = 30) y <- seq(-1.95, 1.95, length = 35) z <- outer(x, y, function(a,b) a*b^2) r1 <- raster(nrows=35, ncols=30, xmn=0, xmx=30, ymn = 0, ymx = 35) r1[] <- c(z) persp(r1)   There already exist some function to produce persp plot for anothe

Hi, I want to draw a level plot. The levels are not evenly spaced, so I did something like: levels=c(0,2,5,10,30,60). I still want the color bar (key) on the right side to be evenly spaced so that the small numbers (0,2,5) are not squeezed together. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks! Jinfeng

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

Hi, I draw a surface corresponding to bivariate density of independent variables (rho=0) using persp(). Then I add a contour line (i.e., circle in my case) at a particular density. Below is a minimal example of what I have so far. # Bivariate density dnorm2d <- function(x, y, rho = 0) { xoy = (x^2 - 2 * rho * x * y + y^2)/(2 * (1 - rho^2)) density = exp(-xoy)/(2 * pi * sqrt(1 - rho^2))
