Contour Label Color Background

[Patrick Reuter]

Hi there,

thanks a lot for this information ! I did not realize that the command
'set background' is not similar when it is executed before the 'clear'
command and after the 'clear' command .. This solves my problem ! Same to
the the 'set cthick' - I realized that, even for values greater than 6,
it affects the image only after exporting with the 'printim' command.

Have a nice day

   Patrick
