Steve,

I was just about to send off another suggestion which
began with ...

  Try the following or wait for David W. to chime in.

But I see that he's already done that. Anyway, in case
it's still of some use:

First I would check that you don't have a variable 'T' in
your workspace. (Never use T in place of TRUE.)

Then I would check that x and y are as they should be.

Then I would make sure that temp is of the correct type
(a matrix) by letting j take a few values (1,2,varsize[4]-1),
generating temp, and running str(temp). I assume that
varsize[4] is >= 2.

Then I would run the following stripped-down version of
your loop (note that I modified your contour() call):

 for(j in 1:2) {
      temp <- get.var.ncdf(nc=input,
                varid="p_foraging",c(1,1,j),c(varsize[1],varsize[2],1)
              )
      filled.contour(x,
                     y,
                     temp,
                     plot.axes = { contour(x, y, temp, add = TRUE)
                           axis(1, seq(450000 , 580000, by = 10000))
                           axis(2, seq(2800000,4000000, by = 10000))
                     }
 }

If that gives reasonable results, you can add the prettyfying
statements back in. If you still get errors, then either I'm
out-to-lunch (quite possible!) or you need to use debug() to
figure out what's going on.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for taking the time to consider the problem. I realize the
procedure
is not reproducible. I use a 4 dimensional netCDF file (4.2 GB) in
size to
pull data into this process. Nobody in their right mind should work
with
such things. It's a spatial temporal database with 10 years of daily
data
in a irregular area spanning 405 x 287 cells.

Anyway, I tried your suggestion adding a { in front of the for loop
and a
closing } following the last line.

That suggestion was probably intended to get you a more informative
error message:

for(j in 1:(varsize[4]-1) )
       temp<- get.var.ncdf(
                     nc=input,
                     varid="p_foraging",
                     c(1,1,j),
                     c(varsize[1],  varsize[2], 1)
                          )

# I think Peter is correct. That loop will complete before the call to
filled.contour,
#  so you will only have the last version of temp plot.

filled.contour(x, y, temp, color = terrain.colors,
       plot.title = title( main =
               paste("Everglades Wood Stork Foraging Potential \nYear",
(2000+j)),

#that "double call" to title looks incomplete as well. The comma looks
premature.
# Shouldn't it be something like:
   plot.title = bquote("Everglades Wood Stork Foraging Potential
\nYear", .(2000+j) )

#(And since the for loop is already complete `j` will not exist.
# Which is probably the source of the error you are getting.)

              xlab = "UTM East", ylab = "UTM North") ,
              plot.axes = { contour(temp, add=T)
                 axis(1, seq(450000 , 580000, by = 10000))
                 axis(2, seq(2800000,4000000, by = 10000)) },
              key.title = title(main="Probability") ,
              key.axes = axis(4, seq(0 , 1 , by = 0.1))

It did not work.

Aren't you missing a set of parentheses?
I can't run your code since it's not reproducible, but to
my aging eyes it seems that you need a set of '{}' around
the contents of your loop:

  for(j in 1:(varsize[4]-1)) { loop stuff }

The routine will work in a modified form without adding the
coordinates
(the axis lines) but when I include these the routine produces
various
errors, such as "dimension mismatch", or "unexpected end
encountered."

I tried to follow the example on filled.contour help page.

Thanks in advance
