I'm new to idl and I have data for variables f, g and h. How do I
read the data in for all the variables and then make a contour plot?

Yes, whereas CONTOUR will actually grid the data to make
a 2D array to contour (if you set the IRREGULAR keyword),
you will have to do the work yourself with the SURFACE
command. Here is an article that describes the process:
