Bathymetry data spanning British Columbia's coast.
data(bcBathymetry)Three-element list: x = vector of horizontal grid line
locations, y = vector of vertical grid line locations, z
= (x by y) matrix containing water depths measured in
meters. Positive values indicate distance below sea level and
negative values above it.
The functions 'graphics::contour' and 'grDevices::contourLines' expect data in this format.
Function convCP converts the output from 'grDevices::contourLines' into a PolySet.
