Hi John,

I'm not sure I fully understand. If you want to contour data, you
either need to have a 2-dimensional field, or else have three
1-dimensional arrays that represent the X and Y locations of the data,
and the data itself.

The caXXXXX resources are for XY line/marker plots only. To create
contours, you need to use the sfXXXXX resources.

To see an example of creating a contour plot, type:

    pynglex ngl02p

This will create a 5-frame PostScript file called "ngl02p.ps" with
several types of contour plots. Let me know if this doesn't
answer your question.
