Hi Peter and everyone else who has offered suggestions. I am now at home
and will try your suggestions this evening.
The initial effort with the stripped down verion I have used earlier did
access the file correctly so I have no reason to think it is not formatted
correctly. That however is always a worthy check in all applications. I
appreciate the reminder.

Subject: Re: [R] filled contour plot with contour lines
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.
