similar to: Center of Closed Contour

OK, I needed to plot a set of vectors on top of a contour plot. I figured out a way to do this. I create a panel function that calls "larrows()" with arguments constructed from my vector data. Then, when I go to do the contour plot, I call contourplot() with the "panel" argument set to point to my newly created panel function. So far, so good. Now, I need to do a

Dear all, I wonder about what could actually be possible with the function "contour": 1/ - the definition of contour lines is most often meaningless when the contours are drawn in areas where no real data points exist. It can however happen that irregular distributions lead to more or less irregular clouds of data points. Interpolations (eg: loess regression, GLM, etc...) are however

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

Is there an easy way to control smoothness of the contour lines? In the plot I am working on due to the undersampling the contour lines I am getting are jugged, but it is clear "by eye" these should be basically straight lines. In maps package I found smooth.map function, but maybe there is a more generic way of accomplishing the same thing. Ideally there would be an option to control

First time user, so sorry if I don't understand protocol.. Anyway, I have created a data frame consisting of pearson's R values at various x and y coordinates and then plotted this using filled.contour. My data is similar to fMRI data except that it is a surface map reconstructed from histological sections. I like the results but would like to know how contours were detected. Google search

Dear, I am trying to plot contours (with filled.contour function) inside UK area, so that no contours are plotted over the sea. I was wondering if anyone can help me with this task and if I can get any suggestions how to do that.

Hi Folks, I have been using contour() to produce some contour plots (of a spatially-smooted density produced by kde2d()), with very satisfactory results. I now want access to the coordinates of the points on the contours, and it would seem that contour() does not return a value, so there is nothing from which these could be extracted. However, apparently contourLines() does, and it seems to be

Hello everybody, I search a function which returns the contour of map with levels like contourLines, but I would like this function return the border of the map too, because the function contourLines cannot consider the corner of the map and it is not adapted to fill polygon after that. Thanks in advance Pierre Bruyer

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

Hi All, I am trying to reproduce this using R instead. [image: Full-size image (38 K)] I tried using the following code *SChla <- read.csv("SM_Chla_data.csv")* *Atlantis <- SChla[16:66,]* *head(Atlantis)* * * Seamount Station Depth Pico Nano Micro Total_Ch dbar Latitude Longitud 16 Atlantis 1217 Surface 0.0639 0.1560 0.0398 0.2597 2.082 -32.71450 57.29733

{ I think this message got rejected at the 1st attempt - trying again} R 2.15.1 , windows XP I have a very non-stationary bivariate time-series - say {xt,yt} t=1 ... lots. I want to do a bivariate density contour-plot of the whole series and then step through the series 1 second at a time plotting that second's {x,y} subset on top of the contour plot and losing the previous

Hi all, Does anybody know how to add contour lines to a filled contour plot? I want to draw a single contour around values that are above a certain level (e.g., significant). The problem I'm having is that since the filled.contour command actually draws two plots (data and the key), adding contour lines paints them over both plots. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andy #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I apologize for what may be a newbie question: I have two sets of data, one is X,Y,Z data that I'd like to make a contour plot of (Z defining the contours), and a second set of X,Y data (Y as a function of X) which I would like made into a line plot OVERLAYED on the contour plot (X and Y from both plots are in the same units and will have overlapping values). Any suggestions on how to do this

I'm trying to make a set of contour plots of bivariate kernel density estimates, showing three such plots overlaid, similar to this plot http://euclid.psych.yorku.ca/SCS/Private/Test/ridge-boot2.pdf except that I would like to have the contours *filled* (using transparent colors). To make this reproducible, I've saved the results of KernSmooth::bkde2D() in the following file:

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

Greetings, All! I want to draw contour lines in red, using contour(), but also have the contour labels (for the level-values) in black so that they will stand out against a coloured background already generated using filled.contour() (the background shades from green at low levels of "risk" to red at high levels). In any case, contour labels in red are already somewhat inconspicuous

Hi, Is there a way to make the filled.contour() function produce a plot similar to the image() function? i.e. not have smooth contours but rather distinct "squares" corresponding to the different cells of the matrix. The reason I ask is because since image doesn't have an option to display colour bars it is a lot less useful. Cheers Muri Soares Department of Maths and Applied

I'm working in Rosario, Argentina, trying to plot some contours. I found the function "draw.contour" created by James Forester at R-bloggers. If you take a look at that function you'll see it's very useful! But I have a problem with it and James is trying to help me (but also asked me to seek for more help) I hope you can help me (don't worry if you can't): Using
