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).
