SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating level plots using raw data in R, specifically 2D contour plots without lines. The user sought guidance on utilizing their x, y, and z coordinates for this purpose, expressing difficulty in finding relevant tutorials that do not rely on pre-packaged data. Ultimately, the user resolved their issue independently, indicating that they successfully figured out the process. The conversation highlights the need for accessible resources for beginners in R.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of R programming language
  • Familiarity with data visualization concepts
  • Knowledge of x, y, and z coordinate systems
  • Experience with contour plotting techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore R's 'ggplot2' package for advanced plotting techniques
  • Learn about the 'akima' package for interpolation in R
  • Research R's 'filled.contour' function for creating filled contour plots
  • Investigate online tutorials specifically focused on raw data visualization in R
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for data analysts, researchers, and anyone new to R who is interested in visualizing raw data through level plots and contour plots.

I'm doing some data analysis for a research project.
Using the program R I'm trying to create level plots. Essentially 2D contour plots without the lines.

I've trawled the Internet and tutorials for days and can only find tutorials that use data from a package. I have the raw data, x, y and z coordinates. I want to create level plots using the raw data.

Can someone please walk me through the steps to use this program? Or point me to a good resource. I've never used the program before either btw. In the deep end.

Thanks!

Not heard of the program myself but google found...

it sounds like it might be possible to graph it in Excel?
