How to plot the contour shaded with a color bar?

[mmacleod]

Hi Fang

If you want the contour values as I had in the PNG file I sent then

after 'd prep'
and

before 'set font 1'


add

'set gxout contour'
'set clevs -20 -18 -16 -14 -12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 1'
'set ccols  1   1   1   1   1   1   1  1  1  1 1 1'
'set cstyle 2 '
'set cthick 4 '
'd prep'

This will draw contours in black as the selected level then number the contour in black as well. If you want to use the a different colour then change the 1 (black to the number of the colour you want)  Note: if you use the same colour for the contours as the  shading then you will not see the contours nor the value of the contours displayed.)

Hope this helps.
