As a simplification of a much larger problem, I'm using the following simple example to explore ways of getting the finite difference results to plot over the same extents as the finite element solution (see figure). I haven't discovered (if it exist) a way of getting the finite difference data to extrapolate, perhaps I'm using the wrong plotting tool?
FD.dat<-matrix(c(1,3.5,3.5,1, 1,2.5,2.5,1, 1,1.5,1.5,1, 1,1,1,1), nrow=4,ncol=4,byrow=TRUE) FE.dat<-matrix(c(1,1,4,1,1, 1,1,3.5,1,1, 1,1,2.5,1,1, 1,1,1.5,1,1, 1,1,1,1,1), nrow=5,ncol=5,byrow=TRUE) FD.x.coords<-c(0.5,1.5,2.5,3.5) FE.x.coords<-c(0,1,2,3,4) FD.y.coords<-FD.x.coords FE.y.coords<-FE.x.coords contour(FD.x.coords,FD.y.coords,FD.dat,xlim=c(0,4),ylim=c(0,4)) contour(FE.x.coords,FE.y.coords,FE.dat,xlim=c(0,4),ylim=c(0,4),add=T,col="red") http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3388485/Slide1.png -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Plotting-Finite-Element-and-Finite-Difference-Results-together-tp3388485p3388485.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
