Dear All, I need to convert some Northing-Easting coordinates from the Gauss-Krüger system into latitude-longitude. Any suggestions on how to do it?

#################################################################################### We have used maptools to construct state, county, township, census-tract, and zipcode level R maps with an Albers Conical Equal Area projection. We would like to be able to plot the location of weather stations or other point locations on the maps. The data the point locations are in latitude-longitude units

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

To everyone, Is there a way to extract coordinates or an equation from a "straight" contour line? Thanks. Cheers Julius Tesoro

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:

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

Greetings all! I'm wanting to plot contours of a function, and I don't want to evaluate it at a dense grid of points (i.e. I don't want a huge array of values). Say I have a vector of x-values such as x <- 0.1*c(1:10), and the same for y <- 0.1*(0:10). I then evaluate a 10*10 matrix z of values of z = f(x,y). so I can then do CL <- contourLines(x,y,z) and get a list of

Hi all, I'm trying to draw a contour plot with rounded (smoothed) contour lines instead of sharp angles; when the grid consists of only a few points in x- and y- axis, the resulting contour is in facts rather ugly since very sharp angles may appear. I did not find any way to do it, by using either "contour" or "contourplot" (from the lattice package), I wonder if there

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

Hello List! I asked this before (with no solution), but maybe this time... I'm trying to project a surface to the XY under a 3d cloud using lattice. I can project contour lines following the code for fig 13.7 in Deepayan Sarkar's "Lattice, Multivariate Data Visualization with R", but it fails when I try to "color them in" using panel.levelplot. ?utilities.3d says there

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 all, I used contour() to add contour lines to a plot. Now I?m wondering if there is a way to get an output of the calculated x- and y- coordinates of the contour lines? Tonja

Hi All, I have a netcdf gridded file with LCC projection. I can easily use image.plot to visualize it. However, as the axises are in X,Y, not Lat and Lon, I could not add state or country maps onto it (or lat lon information). I do have a grid2d file that describes the lat and lon for each (X,Y) grid, but the lat and lon are not regularly spaced, so I could not use image.plot. Does anyone know

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

Dear R-Help community, I am trying to overlay a single contour line over a correlation plot using levelplot in the lattice package. These are the two arrays: 1) a correlation plot over Africa - so each grid square is a different colour dependent on correlation - this is in an array: result_cor with dim[465,465] 2) a single contour line from a ***different data source*** - this is from data

Considering the R function/plot shown below, I wonder whether it is possible to do the following changes: (1) Change the color of each point to be picked from list of colors according to its z-value. (The range should be from blue (z=0) to red (z=1).) The grid should then be omitted. [I have seen "terrain.colors", but don't know how to use it for this purpose.] (2) Add two lines to

Hi, I was trying to stack a topographic map readed in from esri shapefile with a contour map and a vector map. However, the plotMap(maptools) and contourplot(lattice) do not seem to work well on top of each other. Here is part of my code. xrange<-range(225000:350000) yrange<-range(2685000:2810000) basemap <- read.shape("Twn25_town_dxf_Polygon.shp")

I want to use contourLines() to get contour line coordinate vectors, but I don't want to make a plot. However contourLines() insists on opening a graphics device.

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

Dear all, there is much in these forums about adding a line to a contour/filled.contour plot, but I haven't found hints for the following. I apologize in advance if I just missed the right one. I'm having a standard filled.contour plot to which I want to add a line passing through some specific z-values at some specific x, without knowing the y coordinates. There should be a way of
