Try the image function. The smoothness of the plot will be proportional to the length of x and y. For instance 200 isn't bad: mu1 <- 0 mu2 <- 5 s <- 1 x <- seq(-2.5, 7.5, length = 200) y <- seq(-2.5, 2.5, length = 200) f <- function(x,y){ term1 <- 1/(2*pi*sqrt(s*s)) term2 <- -1/2 term3 <- (x - mu1)^2/s term4 <- (y - mu1)^2/s term5 <- (x - mu2)^2/s term1*(.5 * exp(term2*(term3 + term4)) + .5 * exp(term2*(term5 + term4))) } # setting up the function of the multivariate normal density z <- outer(x, y, f) # persp(x, y, z) require(grDevices) #pdf('twoGaussian.pdf') #filled.contour(x, y, z, axes = F, frame.plot = F, asp = 1, # col = gray(seq(0, 0.9, len = 25)), nlevels = 25) image(x,y,z,col=gray(seq(0,0.9,len=200))) Cheers, Jeff -- http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/JeffreyHorner ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
