You can specify the type of element you want to plot using the kind keyword. In this set of exercises we will introduce the concept of 3d plotting. This contourplot command plots a contour defined by the equation g1 0 as shown earlier in fig. However, because figures are usually generated in two dimensions, relationships among more than 2 variables need to be translated into something more than cartesian coordinates. This can help you select table areas, column separators and debug bad table outputs, by tweaking different configuration parameters.
These and all other high level trellis functions have several arguments in common.

We use the contour function in base r to produce contour plots that are wellsuited for initial investigations into three dimensional data. We recommend you read our getting started guide for the latest installation or upgrade instructions, then move on to our plotly fundamentals tutorials or dive straight in to some basic charts. The methods for positioning the labels on contours are simple draw at the edge of the plot, overlaying the contour line, edge draw at the edge of the plot, embedded in the contour line, with no labels overlapping and flattest draw on the flattest section of the contour, embedded in the contour line, with no labels overlapping.

Highlevel lattice functions like xyplot are different from traditional r graphics functions in that they do not perform any plotting themselves. You can create a contour plot with emphasis on selected contour lines by splitting the data and creating two overlapping contour plots. For example, the axes are automatically set to encapsulate the data, a box is drawn around the plotting space, and some basic labels are given as well.
