Before you try this with lattice, you might spend some time getting your abscissa values in an order that will plot the contour in a sequential fashion. It's not obvious how to do this a priori. Here is a simple-minded attempt after looking at your graphic, just using base graphics. Maybe, it will be sufficient for you to tweak it a bit further for what you want. Data_poly<- read.table("http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3870788/111004_Lode_Outlines.csv", header = TRUE,sep = ",",) par(mfrow = c(1, 2), pty = "s") plot(z ~ y, Data_poly, type = "l") fh <- with(Data_poly, which(z > 240)) D_poly <- rbind(Data_poly[fh, ], Data_poly[-rev(fh), ]) D_poly <- rbind(D_poly, Data_poly[1, ]) plot(z ~ y, D_poly, type = "n") with(D_poly, polygon(y, z, col = "lightblue")) -- Ken Knoblauch Inserm U846 Stem-cell and Brain Research Institute Department of Integrative Neurosciences 18 avenue du Doyen Lépine 69500 Bron France tel: +33 (0)4 72 91 34 77 fax: +33 (0)4 72 91 34 61 portable: +33 (0)6 84 10 64 10 http://www.sbri.fr/members/kenneth-knoblauch.html ______________________________________________ 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.
