stat_contour not able to generate contour lines

Question

I need to add lines via stat_contour() to my ggplot/ggplot2-plot. Unfortunately, I can not give you the real data from which point val

Answer 1

Use stat_density2d instead of stat_contour with irregularly spaced data.

library(ggplot2)

testPts <- data.frame(x=rep(seq(7.08, 7.14, by=0.005), 200))
testPts$y <- runif(length(testPts$x), 50.93, 50.96)
testPts$z <- sin(testPts$y * 500)

(ggplot(data=testPts, aes(x=x, y=y, z=z))
+ geom_point(aes(colour=z))
+ stat_density2d()
)
