Thanks.... ... not sure if I'm going to venture into this... maybe
I'll try the iContour thingy. That seems to allow modification of the
bit pattern too.

Oh, right. I didn't read that closely enough. :-(

Yeah, that was written for IDL 5.0, I believe. It's probably
time for an upgrade. But so few people actually use object
graphics for contouring that I haven't been highly motivated.

This is possible in object graphics (check out C_LINESTYLE property in
IDLgrContour), but not in direct graphics. Warning: I've found using
IDLgrContour to be a bit of a pain. Check out David's article:
http://www.dfanning.com/ographics_tips/contour_obj5.html
By the way, the article should probably be updated: IDLgrContour does
allow contour lines to be labeled now (not sure what version that came
in).

No, no way to do this in either direct or object graphics,
I don't believe.
