Plotting contour & filled.contour in one graph
GG Yes, gladly. It is an idealized example of the following data situation: There are two control or "independent variables." They are represented here as x and y, on the horizontal and vertical axes respectively. There are two different responses or "dependent" variables plotted as different types of contours. The filled contours show response z. The heavy lines show response zz. Thus such a plot displays two different responses from a two-dimensional range of conditions. As an example, in fishery biology, x might be the age at which fish are first subject to capture, y might be the fishing mortality rate (intensity) applied, z might be the resulting yield per fish, and zz might be the resulting spawning per fish. There is usually a trade-off between yield and spawning potential, and such a graph (if done with real data) allows one to look at that trade-off. The OP seemed to be seeking a way of contouring two responses against two independent variables, and that's what this graph does. Is that clearer? Would the graph would be better if I used real data?

Could you walk us through, in detail, what that graph is showing? On 2/12/06, Michael Prager <Mike.Prager at noaa.gov> wrote:
Besides the answers you already have, you might look at my "4D" graph example (with code) on the R Graphics Gallery: http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=90 I think it does exactly what you are asking, and therefore it might fit your needs with only slight code modification.

Dear All,
I have a question on overlaying a filled.contour (e.g. on soil properties data) and contour (by elevation) in one graph. Both have the same z matrix dimension. I'm able to overlay both graph, but the plots dimension did not overlap well on the same plots. How can I have both filled.contour and contour on the same graph? The commands that I have written are as follows:
filled.contour(0:15,0:10,t(matrix(Total.C,nrow=11,ncol=16)))
contour(0:15,0:10,as.matrix(elev),add=T)
Thanks for anay assistance.
Regards.
