: Hello, I'm a novice PVwave user, and I have a couple of simple questions.
:
: 1. I wish to define the number of contour lines drawn, but still
: have pvwave define the value of the contours. This is possible
: with other packages I have used (e.g. NCARGraphics ). How can I do this?
:

Use the command:

WAVE> contour, dataset, nlevels=15

This will set the number of levels. PV-WAVE will still determine the values at these
levels.

:
: 2. When I use the spline keyword ( /spline ) to smooth my contour
: plot I unknowingly introduce contour-line labels. I want smooth
: unlableled contours. Any suggestions?
:

Use the command:

WAVE> contour, dataset, /spline, c_labels=0

This will provide smooth contours with the contopur labels suppressed.

:
: Thanks in Advance.

All of the possible keywords for the contour command are listed with the explanation
of this command on pages 2-76 through 2-78 of the "PV-WAVE Command Language
Reference". The explanation of keywords is found in Chapter 3 of the same
document.
