Hello, thanks everybody for your help so far! It's been a blast dwelving into Mathematica, and I am fairly impressed how nice it is to work without loops! ;-) Now I've got some plotting issues. In the example below, specifically for the ListContourPlot: a) can I invert the colors (so for the case of Lake colors that deep blue is at the 50-value? b) can I change the contouring so that the the square with the corners {0,1},{1,0} is contoured? XYZDATA = {{0.9, 0.9, 50}, {0.8, 0.9, 30}, {0.9, 0.8, 30}, {0.5, 0.5, 15}, {0.2, 0.1, 1}, {0.1, 0.2, 1}} ListPlot[Transpose[{XYZDATA[[All, 1]], XYZDATA[[All, 2]]}] , PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}} , AspectRatio -> 1] ListContourPlot[XYZDATA , AspectRatio -> 1 , PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}} , ColorFunction -> "LakeColors"] It seems as if things get worse if there are more extreme values, like this: XYZDATA2 = {{0.95, 0.95, 150}, {0.9, 0.9, 50}, {0.8, 0.9, 30}, {0.9, 0.8, 30}, {0.5, 0.5, 15}, {0.2, 0.1, 1}, {0.1, 0.2, 1}} Dots = ListPlot[Transpose[{XYZDATA2[[All, 1]], XYZDATA2[[All, 2]]}] , PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}} , AspectRatio -> 1] ShadedPlot = ListContourPlot[XYZDATA2 , AspectRatio -> 1 , PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}} , ColorFunction -> "LakeColors"] Show[Dots, ShadedPlot] In the second case, the interpolation does not extent to the point at {0.95, 0.95}. Is there a way to set somehow limits for contouring, for the given example, say all z-values >50 should be contoured with the darkest shade of blue? I played around with creating a ColorScheme, like GreyColor[ z_ ] := GrayLevel[1 - z] and ShadedPlot2 = ListContourPlot[XYZDATA2 , AspectRatio -> 1 , PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1}} , ColorFunction -> GreyColor ] which sort of solves my problems, because now all z-values >1 are black, which I verified by this code MaxCont = 1; MinCont = 0.1; DeltaCont = 0.1; Graphics[{ Table[{ GreyColor[i] , Rectangle[{i - DeltaCont, DeltaCont}, {i, 2*DeltaCont}] , Black, Text[Style[i, 20], {i - (DeltaCont/3), MinCont}, {i, 1.5*MaxCont}] }, {i, MinCont, MaxCont, DeltaCont}] }] However, the point at {0.95, 0.95} is still not included in the shading. So I guess my questions a) and b) from above are still my problems... ;-) Thanks again for any hints! Cheers, Claus
