Hi R-help community,

Can anyone tell me why, while using :
   x <- seq(as.Date("2001-01-01"),as.Date("2001-01-01") +
nrow(volcano)-1,1)
   y <- seq(1, ncol(volcano),1)

when I plot the volcano matrix with that command :
   filled.contour(x,y,volcano)
the graph has a Date format on X-axis, ok ...

... but when adding a contour plot to the filled contour, using this
command:
   filled.contour(x,y,volcano,
plot.axes={axis(1);axis(2);contour(x,y,volcano, add = TRUE)})
the Date format doesn't appear anymore ... ??

You should not use using axis(1). Look at the code for filled.contour:

    if (missing(plot.axes)) {
        if (axes) {
            title(main = "", xlab = "", ylab = "")
            Axis(x, side = 1)
            Axis(y, side = 2)
        }
    }

and then at the help for Axis and axis.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Xavier
