I think this is a different question, though.
I don't think there is any way to access the
algorithm IDL uses for contour spacing.
Usually the best you can do is make the
window larger or smaller.
Cheers,

Hello,
You might want to check out the following from David Fanning.
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/nlevels.html
In that article, David describes how to explicitly set the contour
levels. You also have a choice as to which levels are labeled with the
C_LEVELS keyword.
