Is it possible to plot unevenly spaced data with image/contour function? Below is an example of the type uneven data that I'm trying to plot with image/contour functions. For example, I would like to have the x-distance on the x-axis and y-distance on the y-axis and then the temperature values determine the color used. Unfortunately this data was sampled such that it is not evenly spaced on a Cartesian plot.
I was hoping that image(temp_samples) or contour(temp_samples) or something similar would work, but my attempts didn't succeed. Thanks for any feedback insights and hints... hyp_distance<-seq(1,15) angle_deg_val<-seq(0,15) x_distance_val<-NULL y_distance_val<-NULL for(ii in 1:length(hyp_distance)) { for(jj in 1:length(angle_deg_val)) { x_distance_tmp<-hyp_distance[ii]*cos(angle_deg_val[jj]*pi/180) y_distance_tmp<-hyp_distance[ii]*sin(angle_deg_val[jj]*pi/180) x_distance_val<-c(x_distance_val, x_distance_tmp) y_distance_val<-c(y_distance_val, y_distance_tmp) } } temperature_vals<-rnorm(length(x_distance_val), 75, 2.2) temp_samples<-cbind(x_distance_val, y_distance_val, temperature_vals) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
