Well, I think you want to call CONTOUR *after* you do your
MAP_SET. This will require you to use the OVERPLOT keyword.
And on map projections you MUST use the CELL_FILL keyword
on the CONTOUR command, rather than the FILL keyword. I think
the code should look more like this:

;-------------------------------
lon = FINDGEN(91)
lat = FINDGEN(115)
x = 17.0 + lon*(1/6.0)
y = 23.0 + lat*(1/6.0)

seed=1L
temp = sin(x)^2 * cos(x)
z = DIST(91,115)

LOADCT, 39

WINDOW,1,TITLE='WORLD MAP',xsize=800,ysize=900

MAP_SET, /CYLINDRICAL, LIMIT=[23.0,17.0,42.0,32.0], /CONTINENTS $
, /HIRES, Mlinethick=1., position=[0.1,0.1,0.9,0.9] $
, /Noerase;, /ISOTROPIC
CONTOUR, z, x, y, /Follow, NLevels=20, XStyle=1, $
YStyle=1, /NoErase, /CELL_FILL, /OVERPLOT
MAP_CONTINENTS, /HIRES,color=255, /FILL_CONTINENTS, /CYLINDRICAL
MAP_CONTINENTS, /COAST, color=0, /HIRES, /CYLINDRICAL
MAP_GRID, charsize=1.25, color=100 ,latdel=2, londel=2, $
/BOX_axes, GLineStyle=2


That seems to look correct (more or less) to me. :-)

Cheers,

David

Try calling MAP_SET before CONTOUR.
