[R] Control color palette and legend in filled.contour

[Karline Soetaert]

Thiago,

This will not be simple using filled.contour, as this changes the layout from the figure.
You might try the function image2D from plot3D:

require(plot3D)
par(mfrow = c(2, 1))
par(mar = c(0, 4, 4, 2))
plot(0, axes = FALSE, frame.plot = TRUE)   # upper plot
par(mar = c(4, 4, 0, 2))
Col <- ramp.col(c("blue", "red"))
image2D(z = volcano, col = Col, xlab = "", contour = TRUE,
  colkey = list(side = 1, length = 0.5))


Hope it helps,

Karline Soetaert
