This page shows how to use r to draw a table or matrix of numerical values as a contour plot with an overlayed grid, like the image below, and using levelplots as an alternative. How to display multivariate relationship graphs with lattice. However, because figures are usually generated in two dimensions, relationships among more than 2 variables need to be translated into something more than cartesian coordinates. So im going to slice it with various planes that are all parallel to the x, y plane and lets think for a moment about what these guys represent. The update method can be used to update components of the object and the print method usually called by default will plot it on an appropriate plotting device.
