\begin{Description}\relax
Draw Level Plots and Contour plots.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
levelplot(formula, data,
          at,
          contour = FALSE,
          cuts = 15,
          pretty = FALSE,
          region = TRUE,
          ...,
          col.regions = trellis.par.get("regions")$col,
          colorkey = region)
contourplot(formula, data, at,
            contour = TRUE,
            labels = format(at),
            cuts = 7,
            pretty = TRUE,
            ...)

\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{formula}] a formula of the form \code{z \textasciitilde{} x * y | g1 * g2 * ...},
where \code{z} is a numeric response, and \code{x}, \code{y} are
numeric values evaluated on a rectangular grid.  \code{g1, g2, ...}
are optional conditional variables, and must be either factors or
shingles if present.

Calculations are based on the assumption that all x and y values are
evaluated on a grid (defined by their unique values). The function
will not return an error if this is not true, but the display might
not be meaningful.  However, the x and y values need not be equally
spaced.

As an extension to partially support the form used in
\code{filled.contour} and \code{image}, \code{formula} can be a
matrix.

\item[\code{data}] optional data frame in which variables are to be evaluated 

\item[\code{at}] numeric vector giving breaks along the range of \code{z}. Contours
(if any) will be drawn at these heights, and the regions in between
would be colored using \code{col.regions}.

\item[\code{col.regions}] color vector to be used if regions is TRUE. The
general idea is that this should be a color vector of moderately
large length (longer than the number of regions. By default this is
100). It is expected that this vector would be gradually varying in
color (so that nearby colors would be similar). When the colors are
actually chosen, they are chosen to be equally spaced along this
vector. When there are more regions than col.regions, the colors are
recycled.

\item[\code{colorkey}] logical specifying whether a color key is to be drawn
alongside the plot, or a list describing the color key. The list may
contain the following components:

\describe{

\item[\code{space}:] location of the colorkey, can be one of ``left'', ``right'',
``top'' and ``bottom''. Defaults to ``right''.


\item[\code{x}, \code{y}:] location, currently unused 

\item[\code{col}:] vector of colors 

\item[\code{at}:] numeric vector specifying where the colors change. must be of
length 1 more than the col vector.


\item[\code{labels}:] a character vector for labelling the \code{at} values, or more
commonly, a list of components \code{labels, at, cex, col,
          font} describing label positions.


\item[\code{tick.number}:] approximate number of ticks. 

\item[\code{corner}:] interacts with x, y; unimplemented 

\item[\code{width}:] width of the key 

\item[\code{height}:] length of key w.r.t side of plot. 
}

\item[\code{contour}] logical, whether to draw contour lines.

\item[\code{cuts}] number of levels the range of \code{z} would be divided into

\item[\code{labels}] logical specifying whether contour lines should be labelled, or
character vector of labels for contour lines. The type of labelling
can be controlled by the \code{label.style} argument, which is
passed on to \code{\LinkA{panel.levelplot}{panel.levelplot}}

\item[\code{pretty}] logical, whether to use pretty cut locations and labels

\item[\code{region}] logical, whether regions between contour lines should be filled

\item[\code{...}] other arguments

\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
These and all other high level Trellis functions have several
arguments in common. These are extensively documented only in the
help page for \code{xyplot}, which should be consulted to learn more
detailed usage.

Other useful arguments are mentioned in the help page for the default
panel function \code{\LinkA{panel.levelplot}{panel.levelplot}} (these are formally
arguments to the panel function, but can be specified in the high
level calls directly).
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
An object of class ``trellis''. 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.
