The complete sequence that Worked For Me is # start example library(reshape2) library(lattice) lon=11 lat=7 lev=5 len=lon*lat*lev array.3d <- array(data=c(1:len), dim=c(lat, lon, lev)) # Rewrite the array values "more spatially," i.e., row-wise from # bottom left. If there's a more-R-ish way to fill this array as # desired, please let me know: I know 'for' loops are deprecated # in R. i=1 for (z in 1:lev) { for (x in lat:1) { for (y in 1:lon) { array.3d[x,y,z]=i ; i=i+1 } } } # produces (with rows=latitudes and cols=longitudes) array.3d[,,1] array.3d[,,lev] # convert data=array.3d to dataframe with reshape2::melt array.3d.df <- melt(array.3d, varnames=c("lat","lon","lev"), value.name="conc") head(array.3d.df) tail(array.3d.df) # make level values {longer, "more realistic"} array.3d.df$lev <- array.3d.df$lev + 0.12345 # truncated below, and ... # ... below note output from these head(array.3d.df) tail(array.3d.df) # plot "appropriately" for atmospheric data where lev=pressure: use # * lattice::levelplot # * one column, since atmospheric levels stack vertically # * rev(lev), since layers closer to ground level have higher pressure levelplot( conc ~ lon * lat | rev(lev), data=array.3d.df, layout=c(1,lev), levs=as.character(round(array.3d.df[['lev']], 1)), strip=FALSE, strip.left=strip.custom( factor.levels=as.character(signif(unique(array.3d.df[['lev']]), 3)), strip.levels=TRUE, horizontal=TRUE, strip.names=FALSE, # gotta shrink strip text size to fit strip width: # more on that separately par.strip.text=list(cex=0.5) ) ) # end example If there's a lattice wiki or other way to user-contribute visualization documentation, please lemme know. (For that matter, why is there not something like an r-sig-vis?) Your assistance is appreciated!
