Hi R-Help, I would like to make filled contour maps of ocean data overlaid by costlines from the map package. I can draw the filled contours and the coastlines om the same plot, but the filled contour also covers part of the land. To get rid of that I tried to draw a filled coastline map on top of the filled contour, but the filled map only draws the closed contours - so most of the land is

Very helpful. One (possible) correction inline below...

Hi Sherri, There are examples of topographic maps which you have been pointed to, however, I suspect that you want to know where you can obtain topographic data from rather than a canned example. There are quite a few intricacies to the process so I will go through them for you. (1) Topography files can be found in the geomapdata library. You will probably want to use the maps package too (if

It may depend on which decomposition method you are using, princomp uses eigen whereas prcomp use svd.

Dear All, This is probably a very basic question but: I have plotted a map of the Barents Sea and surrounding coastline using: map('worldHires',ylim=c(50,85),xlim=c(5,65),fill=T,resolution=0) map.axes() map.scale(x=30,metric=T) Next, I imported a shapefile with depth contours for the sea: contours<-read.shape("D://My Documents/BarentsSea.shp",dbf.data=T) (This is in

I would like to plot some lat-lon data in a filled contour, and then overlay a map of the globe on top. I am trying something like this: filled.contour(lons, lats, glb.data, plot.axes={axis(1);axis(2);map(projection='rectangular',parameters=0,add =T)} ) The filled contour plots fine, and the map shows up, but only as a very tiny little black rectangle in a small area of the

Hi, I have had a look around the forums and I can't seem to find anything that works with my data. I have lats, longs, time, tidal speed and direction and need to plot this in an xy plot to determine changes over time. contour and cloud have been recommended to me as a way to do this but I can't figure out how to get 5 dimensions into this. I want lat and long as my x and y, time as my

Dear R-users, I have imported a shapefile with depth contours for a sea: depths<-read.shape("D://My Documents/BarentsSea.shp",dbf.data=T) (This is in mercator projection) **Is there a way to convert this shapefile into a format that it may be plotted on a contour plot?** I wish to add these contours onto a map (already coded using 'maps' package) to map the sea contours

Dear R'Helpers and Colleagues, I have looked in the documentation, asked to some colleagues in the lab, but was unable to solve the following difficulty. I am running R on a iMac G5 with OS 10.4. The file below (73 rows x 144 col) shows the values of a climatic index on the globe with a grid of 2,5 ? x 2,5 ? (NA = no value): ? With image() and map() and running the following

Hello, I'm doing a pca analysis and get unrotated PCA results (using "pca"). I then used "varimax" to rotate the PCs, vload <- varimax(cproj,normalize=TRUE,eps=1e-5) #cproj is the "loadings" from "pca" and calculate the score coefficients with: coef <- solve(correlation matrix of original data) %*% (vload$loadings) Then calculate the

Does anyone have any experience plotting complex polygons on a scatterplot3d display? I would like to present some spatially binned data in a 3-d type plot with background polygons (i.e.. a filled coastline map). I can get the coastline onto the plot window as a line type but cannot figure out how to fill the shape. I'm certain it may be possible but might require a bit of digging

Hello, I created a 3d surface (persp) with some points overlaid on it, which is fine. Now I have a second set of z-values(x,y-values same as the first surface), which I would like to make visible on the same graph, however, not as a surface, but rather as coloured contour on the first surface, so that the resulting graph will consist of the original surface having the colour of the second

Hi All, Does anybody know of any existing functions that will calculate distance inland from a coastline? It's possible to test if a lon,lat location is land or sea using map.where(), but I need to add a buffer to this of say 2km, to allow for points that are just on the coast, and below the resolution of the worldHires database. I'm working with a marine mammal satellite telemetry

Hi, I have not been able to find answers to these questions in the FAQs, manuals, or R-help archives. If answers are available somewhere, please direct me to them. 1.) Is there a way to convert a table (e.g. represented as a data frame) to a function, specifying which columns are input and which column is output? It would seem that this would be useful for plotting experimental results,

Hello, Using the data and code below I've been using R to compare output from two different solute transport codes, the red contours are from verified code while the blue contours come from some modified code I've been working on. The goal is for the contours to match, and although there is currently a slight discrepancy this would be expected. The plot shows a pulse of infiltrating

Hi, one of the nice things about contour is that it labels all contour lines. contourplot only labels each particular elevation a single time. i.e., if there are two contour lines corresponding to z = 45, it will only label one of them. is there a way to get contourplot to automatically label all the contour lines, even those that are repeated? i ask because i want to plot contour plots *w/

I am using contour to draw contour lines onto a photo (jpeg) of a leaf on a white background. I have two problems: 1) The contour gets plotted at right angles to the jpeg image. I guess this is a problem of referencing the start and end points of the image matrix but I can't see how to over come this other than loading in a second image that has been rotated 90 degrees and plotting the

I have a contour plot where the surface can take on positive and negative values. I would like to use solid contour lines for positive values and dotted contour lines for negative values. I saw a plot like this produced by S-Plus before. Is there a way to do this with R? If not, can anyone suggest a way to make interpretation of the contour plot easier? (Right now, it is not clear if a set of

Hi, Please see the attached contour plot (I am sorry about the big file). This was created using the vis.gam() function in "mgcv" package. However, my question is somewhat broader. In generating this figure, I first created the contours using vis.gam() and then I plotted the points. These point are plotted on top of the contours so that some of the contour lines are only partially

Hello everyone (and Hadley in particular), I often need to plot data from multiple datasets on the same graph. A common example is when mapping some values: I want to plot the underlying map and then add the points. I currently do it with base graphics, by recording the maximum region in which my map+point will fit, plotting both with these xlim and ylim parameters, adding par (new=T)
