I don't get this error, nor would I expect to.
Have you tried exiting and restarting IDL? I
suspect something else is wrong.

No, it is not possible. It *is* possible, however, to write
something much simpler than iContour which will give you
the kind of contouring you need. A good place to start,
for example, is with XContour, and old, but still serviceable,
program:

And if you manage to give it a fresh look, let me know. :-)

Cheers,
