Re: Overlaying filled contour plots

[Martin Schultz <martin.schultz(at)dkrz.de>]

Hi Simon,


    I once did something like this using the MIN_VALUE keyword. Basically, the
idea is to "blank" out all values from each of the contour data sets that you 
don't want to see, by setting them to something (NaN or -9.99e30 or so), then
call contour with /Overplot, min_value=-8.e30
