R levelplot and interpolation [closed]

Question

some days ago I managed to make levelplots, with interpolation, with the following command within a script:

levelplot(jan~lon*lat,APM,main="Jan",panel=panel.levelplot.raster,interpolate=T)

I accidentaly did not keep that session, only the script, so it is not possible for me to go through the history and recover all the commands I had used.

Now, after loading latticeExtra, the same command produces an empty plot. On the other hand, leaving out the last two elements of the instruction, i.e.:

levelplot(jan~lon*lat,APM,main="Jan")

The graph is drawn.

I'd like to have interpolation at the surface, but something is going wrong with

panel=panel.levelplot.raster

the same behaviour happens when rasterVis is loaded. I guess I am missing something... any help?

The data has the following structure:

Answer 1

The following produces a plot in a fresh interactive session of R

APM <- results of dput(APM) from the OP

library(latticeExtra)

levelplot(jan~lon*lat,APM,main="Jan",panel=panel.levelplot.raster,interpolate=T)

or alternatively

levelplot(jan~lon*lat,APM,main="Jan",interpolate=TRUE, useRaster = TRUE)

If this is not working for you, check to see if you have the latest versions of the packages in question; for example,

R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26)
latticeExtra_0.6-24
lattice_0.20-10
RColorBrewer_1.0-5

If the problem still is not resolved, there's something else that hasn't been mentioned in this post.
