Dear all,
today I tried to do something very simple (I am using IDL 7.0): I have
filled contours of different colors (c_colors=...). I also added
labels. Those labels, however, are now also in the colors of the
filled contours - so you cant see them. Changing "color=" did not
help.
So how can I plot labels of a certain color + filled contours? If
there is a two step process, I do not mind: Eg. first plot the filled
contours without labels and then the labels with a different color
(white) - but without additional contours! I was unable to come up
with a solution... Is it too obvious for me to see?
Thanks,
Michael

I don't think so, not in direct graphics, where you do
not have access to the contour labels.
Cheers,
David

re-plot the contour lines, in color, without the label...
