\keyword{hplot}{ggcontour}
\begin{Description}\relax
Create a grob to display contours of a 3D data set.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}ggcontour(plot = .PLOT, aesthetics=list(), ..., data=NULL)\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{plot}] the plot object to modify
\item[\code{aesthetics}] named list of aesthetic mappings, see details for more information
\item[\code{...}] other options, see details for more information
\item[\code{data}] data source, if not specified the plot default will be used
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
Aesthetic mappings that this grob function understands:

\Itemize{
\item \code{x}:x position (required)
\item \code{y}:y position (required)
\item \code{z}:z position (required)
}

These can be specified in the plot defaults (see \code{\LinkA{ggplot}{ggplot}}) or
in the \code{aesthetics} argument.  If you want to modify the position
of the points or any axis options, you will need to add a position scale to
the plot.  These functions start with \code{ps}, eg.
\code{\LinkA{pscontinuous}{pscontinuous}} or \code{\LinkA{pscategorical}{pscategorical}}

Other options:

\Itemize{
\item \code{nlevels}: number of contours to draw
\item \code{levels}: contour positions
\item \code{...}: other aesthetic parameters passed to \code{\LinkA{grob\_path}{grob.Rul.path}}
}
