Ri contours are not appeared in the figure

Hi,

Thanks for all. I’m interested to Ri, so for this I made some assumption to
calculating it. The code is working but the Ri contours are not appeared in
the figure, may be my code is not correct. Please could anyone help me to
figure out the problem? My code and the result are attached.
thanks
wei
