Typically, you draw the filled contours, and then overplot
the contour lines:
data = dist(200)
loadct, 5, ncolors=12, bottom=1
device, decomposed=0, get_decomposed=theState
contour, data, nlevels=12, /fill, c_colors = indgen(12) + 1
contour, data, nlevels=12, /overplot, c_label=replicate(1,12)
device, decomposed=thestate
Of course, colors are wrong, etc. All the usual caveats. :-)
Cheers,
David

Hi David!

Yes that is what I did. Only I do not want the additional white lines
of the second contour plot, just the white labels. Is that possible in
any way?
Background is that I want to overlay contour lines of another data set
on the filled contours. So if you have the lines from the first data
set + those of the second, the plot gets pretty crowded.
Thanks, Michael
