Thanks, I will have a look. I have given up on filled contours with IDL,
since my data sets have relatively frequent missing values, and according
to RSI, 'it will not fill contours that run into cells with missing data.'
I have gone back to using MAP_IMAGE + CONTOUR, which works pretty well
for my purposes.

I know that does not directly correspond to
your problems. But just in case that you are
fed up with the FILL-problems in IDL:

I would like to draw your attention to software
written by myself and available since a couple
of weeks.

Login to netlib, for instance netlib.ornl.gov,
and get /graphics/xfarbe.taz.uu . This will
get you a program for computing filled contours
(X- and postscript) on a rectangular grid using
bicubic interpolation.

At the moment, you cannot define missing data,
but it should be much more convenient than
any IDL procedure. For instance, labels can
be added by just clicking on the contours,
and it is possible to fill in the contours
of certain regions only by clicking them on
with the mouse.

Sincerely
A.Preusser
