They are correct for a certain definition of "graphical parameter", and
'nlevels' is an argument to contour. IIRC this really refers to things
in ?par and is a common issue that I have come across when coding
function that pass some arguments in '...' to other functions and some
to plotting functions. There are ways around this, but I don't have the
details to hand - Prof. Ripley suggested one solution that is used
within base R to get round this problem, and which we subsequently used
in the vegan package.
