Hi all, To my knowledge, the current version of contour.default() does not handle the 'asp' parameter. This can be embarassing when displaying eg geographical maps, etc... Submitted to the opinion of more experienced R programmers, contour.defaut() function should be changed according to the followings:
line 7: add = FALSE,asp=NA,...) line 33: plot.window(xlim, ylim, asp=asp,"") The new script would be: contour.default<- function (x = seq(0, 1, len = nrow(z)), y = seq(0, 1, len = ncol(z)),z, nlevels = 10, levels = pretty(zlim, nlevels), labels = NULL, xlim = range(x, finite = TRUE), ylim = range(y, finite = TRUE), zlim = range(z, finite = TRUE), labcex = 0.6, drawlabels = TRUE, method = "flattest", vfont = c("sans serif", "plain"), axes = TRUE, frame.plot = axes, col = par("fg"), lty = par("lty"), lwd = par("lwd"), add = FALSE,asp=NA,...) { if (missing(z)) { if (!missing(x)) { if (is.list(x)) { z <- x$z y <- x$y x <- x$x } else { z <- x x <- seq(0, 1, len = nrow(z)) } } else stop("no `z' matrix specified") } else if (is.list(x)) { y <- x$y x <- x$x } if (any(diff(x) <= 0) || any(diff(y) <= 0)) stop("increasing x and y values expected") if (!is.matrix(z) || nrow(z) <= 1 || ncol(z) <= 1) stop("no proper `z' matrix specified") if (!add) { plot.new() plot.window(xlim, ylim, asp=asp,"") title(...) } if (!is.double(z)) storage.mode(z) <- "double" method <- pmatch(method[1], c("simple", "edge", "flattest")) if (!is.null(vfont)) vfont <- c(typeface = pmatch(vfont[1], Hershey$typeface) - 1, fontindex = pmatch(vfont[2], Hershey$fontindex)) if (!is.null(labels)) labels <- as.character(labels) .Internal(contour(as.double(x), as.double(y), z, as.double(levels), labels, labcex, drawlabels, method, vfont, col = col, lty = lty, lwd = lwd)) if (!add) { if (axes) { axis(1) axis(2) } if (frame.plot) box() } invisible() } <environment: namespace:base> Best regards, Patrick [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
