Dear all,

As a newbie in R I would like to do the following (simple?) thing:

to plot a filled.contour plot over a map showing country boundaries (e.g. for Europe)
What i do is:
map('worldHires',xlim=c(-10,40),ylim=c(35,70),boundary = TRUE,border=0.1)
map.axes()
filled.contour(mslp, zlim=c(1000,1020),color.palette = colorRampPalette(c("blue", "white", "red")),main="Avegared MLSP (hPa) ERA40 JJA [1996-2002]", xlab="Longitude",ylab="Latitude")

in which the mslp file is a netcdf file, with mean sea level pressure for a range of lat/lon values.

If I run the above-mentioned, I just get the map of Europe, without the contourplot.
When commenting the "map" statements I can see the contourplot.

So I am doing something wrong, but I really have no idea what?

Anybody could help me out here?
Thanks in advance,

Matthias
