Is there a way to pass command line arguments to R for use in BATCH mode or something similar? -- -Alex Morgan Homepage: http//pubpages.unh.edu/~amorgan AIM login: HomeySage "Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society.

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.

Dear all, I would like to put two perspective plots into one plot. The help page for ?persp shows how one can add points and lines but not another perspective plot. data(volcano) z <- 2 * volcano # Exaggerate the relief x <- 10 * (1:nrow(z)) # 10 meter spacing (S to N) y <- 10 * (1:ncol(z)) # 10 meter spacing (E to W) ## Don't draw the grid lines : border = NA persp(x,

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.

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

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

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

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

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 *

Hello, I've a problem for setting graphical parameters in perspective plot (function persp). I wonder if it's possible to add some text (function text) on an existing persp plot USING the axis coordinates. In fact I want to add some text on a persp plot according to x coordinates. I've tried to use text(xcoord,ycoord, label="toto") but the toto text doesn't appear at

Hi, I thought about this but programming it seems rather difficult so I was wondering if a function exists for this in R (as most of the times it turns out that it does): I have a map (shapefile) and for about 50 points on that map (GPS locations) I have heights. Is there a function which can make a perspective plot or contour plot or the like from this little data? Or maybe some function I can

Hi .. I would like to have math symbols in perspective plots i tried : persp(x,y,z,xlab=expression(phi)) but it plots it as phi. Thanks. Harsh __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there a way to get the axes labels for a persp() plot to show the actual values employed? ticktype='detailed' only shows a scale from 0 to 1. My values are (for example) y in 0.2-0.7, x in 450-560 and I would like to suppress the z labels. How can I get the x and y values to appear on the plot? R-2.3.1, Windows XP Home. Best wishes John John Logsdon

Hello, I'm producing a 3D plot using the persp function. All my values for X, Y, and Z are decimals ranging from 0 to 1. I'd like to be able format the three axes so that the tick values are 0% 20% 40%, etc... instead of just being 0 .2 .4. Does anyone know how to do this?   Many thanks,   Steve [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am trying to create a perspective plot with Time on the x-axis, Underlying Price on the y-axis, and Option Price on the z-axis. But I don't like the way my x-axis is setup. Right now, Time is this sequence. Time = seq(from = 1/52, to = 1, by=1/52) That results in the x-axis going from 0 at the back, to 1 near the foreground corner.(If that makes any sense) I want to do the

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))
