Hello All - I hope someone can help...
Using "contour", I've made a contour plot with 3 sets of contours.
I've got them with no fills and each has a different line style. I've
labeled the contour levels, so the value of each contour appears along
the curves in a couple of places:
contour, z0, x, y, levels=findgen(10)/10d, c_labels=findgen(10),
c_charsize=1, ,c_line=0
contour, z1, x, y, levels=findgen(10)/10d, c_labels=findgen(10),
c_charsize=1, ,c_line=1, /overplot
contour, z2, x, y, levels=findgen(10)/10d, c_labels=findgen(10),
c_charsize=1, ,c_line=2, /overplot
A sample of the plot is here: http://bit.ly/12e1Y7
My problem is that the labels overlap with each other in several
places. If the contour sets were similar enough, I would just label
one set and imply that each label applied to all of the nearest
curves. But each contour set is different, so I need a label on every
contour. I'd prefer not to decrease the font size very much.
My question is - it is possible to shift the positions of the labels
along the contours using "contour" or some other routine?
Thanks for any tips,
Charles
