<div dir="ltr"><div>Jennifer,<br><br></div>I tried that option, and while it made the contour lines match the shaded regions, it adjusted the contour lines to the shaded regions. I would like the shaded regions to match the smoothed contours. Maybe it is not possible, I am not sure.<br>

I have attached an image where I have the csmooth option 'on' for both a shaded field and contours. You will notice the difference as the contour field is slightly smoother than the shaded field. Both the shaded field and the contours have the same interval. Here is a snippet of the code I am running:</div>
