Couldn't you process the two data sets first and then visualize the
single result, instead of thinking how to combine two different visuals?
Cheers,

Pavel is on the right track here I think. Couldn't you do the following:
y = on1 * 2 + on2
contour, y, levels=[0,1,2,3]
Then adjust your color table to match what you need. ( like, 0=black,
1=red, 2=blue, 3=purple).
Or, the other possibility is to render both contour plots, TVRD()
them, and then perform the bit twizzling on the images. :-)
