Hi Reimar,

cell_fill splits the area to be filled into a number of smaller
cells (I think they are rectangles) instead of using some sophisticated
fill algorithm that uses the outline (contourline) of the area to be
filled. There are occasions when the standard fill produces very weird
results (I encountered these, but forgot how I made it), in these cases
cell_fill will be much more robust. It may be a good idea to try out
both algorithms (with and without cell_fill) if you have contour plots
with a lot of variety, many gaps in the data or other somewhat ill-posed
problems.

Regards,
Martin
