Hi, I would like to make a contour plot using R with the following information 
(data at the end): x-axis= arranged according to day (from 1 to 365, labels= 
use months; up to 365 days in one year), y-axis= depth (labels from 0 at the 
top to 7 at the bottom; this is a water depth profile), and z-axis= pH. So, 
this would be a pH contour plot of different dates throughout a year, with pH 
measured at different depths (0 meter to 7 meters). I tried to use various 
contour plot packages, but always have trouble with y axis data that are not 
arranged in ascending order thus failed to make a matrix for data in the z-axis 
(pH). So, I used akima to make a matrix 
(data.interp<-interp(x,y,z,duplicate="mean")) but the results is a square 
matrix- Not sure if the data is correct. So, any help/suggestion would be 
great! An example image that I would like to make is here:

Thanks so much!
