Once you guys figure all this out, I'm glad to modify bplot to pass 
more arguments lattice if needed.

I had tried a few efforts like that, starting with an examination of
str(bp.plot) as you demonstrate.


I tried str(bp.plot) which gave the section about the regions (for
colours) as:
$ panel.args.common:List of 8
 ..$ x  : num [1:2500] 27 28 29 29.9 30.9 ...
 ..$ y  : num [1:2500] 141 141 141 141 141 ...
 ..$ z  : num [1:2500] -1.43 -1.41 -1.39 -1.36 -1.34 ...
 ..$ at : num [1:10] -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
 ..$ region : logi FALSE
 ..$ zlab   :List of 3
 .. ..$ label: chr log odds
 .. ..$ rot  : num 90
 .. ..$ cex  : num 1
 ..$ labels : logi TRUE
 ..$ contour: logi TRUE


I tried (with a bplot object named bldLT40):

bldLT40$legend$right$args$key$at - c(-0.233, seq(.50, 2.25, by=0.25),
seq(2.5, 5.0, by=0.5), 6:10)

... and then tried

bldLT40$panel.args$at - c(-0.233, seq(.50, 2.25, by=0.25), seq(2.5,
5.0, by=0.5), 6:10)

Neither of these efforts changed the boundaries beteen colors in the
plot area. The first effort changed the legend scal,e but that just
created a misalignment of the colors of plot area and the legend. I
would be interested in either a strategy that lets one alter the color
level changes of the z variable (which in bplot-created objects is
zhat, or lets one specify the values at which contour lines are
drawn in contourplot.

Thanks for your efforts.

I added the col.region and colours from a plot levelplot that I had
done to see what would occur to the trellis parameters. No colours
were produced when plotted.
bp.plot - bplot(p, lfun=contourplot, color.key = TRUE, col.regions
=
c
(#FF
,#00,#A9E2FF,#8080FF,#FF,#FFD18F,#FF) )

$ panel.args.common:List of 10
 ..$ x  : num [1:2500] 27 28 29 29.9 30.9 ...
 ..$ y  : num [1:2500] 141 141 141 141 141 ...
 ..$ z  : num [1:2500] -1.43 -1.41 -1.39 -1.36 -1.34 ...
 ..$ at : num [1:10] -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
 ..$ region : logi FALSE
 ..$ color.key  : logi TRUE
 ..$ zlab   :List of 3
 .. ..$ label: chr log odds
 .. ..$ rot  : num 90
 .. ..$ cex  : num 1
 ..$ labels : logi TRUE
 ..$ contour: logi TRUE
 ..$ col.regions: chr [1:7] #FF #00 #A9E2FF
#8080FF ...

So it has been added to the panel.args.common, whether you can
access these are another matter.

I then tried
bp.plot - bplot(p, lfun=contourplot, par.settings = list(axis.text
= list(cex = 0.65)), color.key = TRUE, col.regions =
c
(#FF
,#00,#A9E2FF,#8080FF,#FF,#FFD18F,#FF) )

which changed the size of the axis text so it may be the case of
having to add the col.regions etc to the appropriate list in
par.settings

I'll leave you to amend and access the colours.
You may have to add values for the wireframe/levelplot arguments
like at  etc. and col.regions (I think that is the function) to
produce an appropriate colour range of your choice

It is a while since I have delved into these sorts of plots.

As always, Frank, I appreciate your support. In this case I think it's  
not needed. What seems to be needed is simply the correct use of the  
at argument. (I thought I had tried this before but apparently  
mucked it up somehow.)  This gives the desired color levels separation  
and labeling of the default levelplot version of bplot output:


  bldLT40 - bplot(mdl.pred , perim=boundaries, at=c(-0.233, seq(.50,  
2.25, by=0.25), seq(2.5, 5.0, by=0.5), 6:10) )

 bldLT40

And this produces the expected output with its contouplot version:

bldLT40c - bplot(mdl.pred , perim=boundaries, lfun=contourplot,  
at=c(-0.233, seq(.50, 2.25, by=0.25), seq(2.5, 5.0, by=0.5), 6:10) )

 bldLT40c

My only quibble with that last one was that the labels had three  
digits to the right of the decimal pt but that happily went away when  
I changed the low end to 0.25. All is good here.

 .. ..$ cex  : num 1
 ..$ labels : logi TRUE
 ..$ contour: logi TRUE


I tried (with a bplot object named bldLT40):

bldLT40$legend$right$args$key$at - c(-0.233, seq(.50, 2.25, by=0.25),  
seq(2.5, 5.0, by=0.5), 6:10)


... and then tried

bldLT40$panel.args$at - c(-0.233, seq(.50, 2.25, by=0.25), seq(2.5,  
5.0, by=0.5), 6:10)


Neither of these efforts changed the boundaries beteen colors in the  
plot area. The first effort changed the legend scal,e but that just  
created a misalignment of the colors of plot area and the legend. I  
would be interested in either a strategy that lets one alter the color  
level changes of the z variable (which in bplot-created objects is  
zhat, or lets one specify the values at which contour lines are  
drawn in contourplot.


Thanks for your efforts.

I added the col.region and colours from a plot levelplot that I had  
done to see what would occur to the trellis parameters. No colours  
were produced when plotted.
bp.plot - bplot(p, lfun=contourplot, color.key = TRUE, col.regions  
=  
c 
(#FF 
,#00,#A9E2FF,#8080FF,#FF,#FFD18F,#FF) )


$ panel.args.common:List of 10
 ..$ x  : num [1:2500] 27 28 29 29.9 30.9 ...
 ..$ y  : num [1:2500] 141 141 141 141 141 ...
 ..$ z  : num [1:2500] -1.43 -1.41 -1.39 -1.36 -1.34 ...
 ..$ at : num [1:10] -2 -1.5 -1 -0.5 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5
 ..$ region : logi FALSE
 ..$ color.key  : logi TRUE
 ..$ zlab   :List of 3
 .. ..$ label: chr log odds
 .. ..$ rot  : num 90
 .. ..$ cex  : num 1
 ..$ labels : logi TRUE
 ..$ contour: logi TRUE
 ..$ col.regions: chr [1:7] #FF #00 #A9E2FF  
#8080FF ...


So it has been added to the panel.args.common, whether you can  
access these are another matter.


I then tried
bp.plot - bplot(p, lfun=contourplot, par.settings = list(axis.text  
= list(cex = 0.65)), color.key = TRUE, col.regions =  
c 
(#FF 
,#00,#A9E2FF,#8080FF,#FF,#FFD18F,#FF) )


which changed the size of the axis text so it may be the case of  
having to add the col.regions etc to the appropriate list in  
par.settings


I'll leave you to amend and access the colours.
You may have to add values for the wireframe/levelplot arguments  
like at  etc. and col.regions (I think that is the function) to  
produce an appropriate colour range of your choice


It is a while since I have delved into these sorts of plots.
Need some sustenance.

I have a plot produced by function bplot (package = rms) that is
really a lattice plot (class=trellis). It is similar to this plot
produced by a very minor modification of the first example on the
bplot help page:

require(rms)

set.seed(17) # so can reproduce the results
age- rnorm(n, 50, 10)

label(cholesterol)- 'Total Cholesterol'
label(blood.pressure) - 'Systolic Blood Pressure'
label(sex)- 'Sex'
units(cholesterol)- 'mg/dl'   # uses units.default in Hmisc
units(blood.pressure) - 'mmHg'

 (log(cholesterol - 10)-5.2)*(-2*(sex=='female') + 2*(sex=='male'))
# Simulate binary y to have Prob(y=1) = 1/[1+exp(-L)]
y - ifelse(runif(n)  plogis(L), 1, 0)

ddist - datadist(age, blood.pressure, cholesterol, sex)
options(datadist='ddist')

fit - lrm(y ~ blood.pressure + sex * (age + rcs(cholesterol,4)),
  x=TRUE, y=TRUE)
p - Predict(fit, age, cholesterol, sex='male', np=50) # vary sex

I have tried a variety of efforts at using update (which I assume  
is a

lattice function although I can find no help page for it. It does
appear in some of the lattice hep pages and my understanding is that
it pushes objects onto the list structure of a plot object. I've also
tried adding to it with llines()

Oh, never mind. I recovered a memory that I had seen a solution on
rhelp and had saved it. Turns out
