Yes, but even more importantly,
what help(contour) should really have is a \code{\link[lattice]{contourplot}}
since contourplot() from package 'lattice'
can deal well excellently with the situation Ajay has:
After reading his data into matrix 'm3'
> d3 <- data.frame(m3)
> summary(d3)
x y z
Min. :0.00 Min. : 20 Min. :0.0000
1st Qu.:0.25 1st Qu.: 60 1st Qu.:0.0000
Median :0.50 Median :110 Median :0.0040
Mean :0.50 Mean :110 Mean :0.1583
3rd Qu.:0.75 3rd Qu.:160 3rd Qu.:0.1410
Max. :1.00 Max. :200 Max. :1.0000
contourplot(z ~ x+y, data=d3)
## or nicer
contourplot(z ~ x+y, data=d3, cuts=20, region = TRUE)
## or rather use logit - transformed z values:
contourplot(qlogis(z) ~ x+y, data=d3, cuts=20, region = TRUE)
