Filled Countour 1

  • if you have a matrix with nxm dimensions and every entry represents a value of interest and the indices of the entry describe the position, then you can use filled.contour() to visualize the matrix
  • first we create a simple matrix to demonstrate how it works:
x <- y <- 1:10 # create two vectors with the integers from 1 to 10
z <- outer(x,y) # create a matrix as the outer product of the two vectors
z # show the matrix
      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
 [1,]    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10
 [2,]    2    4    6    8   10   12   14   16   18    20
 [3,]    3    6    9   12   15   18   21   24   27    30
 [4,]    4    8   12   16   20   24   28   32   36    40
 [5,]    5   10   15   20   25   30   35   40   45    50
 [6,]    6   12   18   24   30   36   42   48   54    60
 [7,]    7   14   21   28   35   42   49   56   63    70
 [8,]    8   16   24   32   40   48   56   64   72    80
 [9,]    9   18   27   36   45   54   63   72   81    90
[10,]   10   20   30   40   50   60   70   80   90   100
  • now let us plot the matrix:
filled.contour(z)
