# Goal: Visualisation of 3-dimensional (x,y,z) data using contour
# plots and using colour to represent the 3rd dimension.
# The specific situation is: On a grid of (x,y) points, you have
# evaluated f(x,y). Now you want a graphical representation of
# the resulting list of (x,y,z) points that you have.
# Setup an interesting data matrix of (x,y,z) points:

# Understand this object --
summary(points)
# x is a grid from 0 to 1
# y is a grid from 20 to 200
# z is the interesting object which will be the 3rd dimension.
# Solution using contourplot() from package 'lattice'
library(lattice)
d3 <- data.frame(points)
contourplot(z ~ x+y, data=d3)
## or nicer
contourplot(z ~ x+y, data=d3, cuts=20, region = TRUE)
## or using logit - transformed z values:
contourplot(qlogis(z) ~ x+y, data=d3, pretty=TRUE, region = TRUE)
# An interesting alternative is levelplot()
levelplot(z ~ x+y, pretty=TRUE, contour=TRUE, data=d3)
# There is a contour() function in R. Even though it sounds obvious
# for the purpose, it is a bit hard to use.
# contour() wants 3 inputs: vectors of x and y values, and a matrix of
# z values, where the x values correspond to the rows of z, and the y
# values to the columns. A collection of points like `points' above
# needs to be turned into such a grid. It might sound odd, but contour()
# image() and persp() have used this kind of input for the longest time.
#
# For irregular data, there's an interp function in the akima package
# that can convert from irregular data into the grid format.
#
# The `points' object that I have above - a list of (x,y,z) points -
# fits directly into the mentality of lattice::contourplot() but not
# into the requirements of contour()
