Folks,

I have to admit, I am totally and utterly confused about
IDL at the moment. I cannot get IDL 8.1 to behave the
same way twice in a row! (There is a chance that 30+
hard crashes over the past two days has something to
do with this, I guess.)

Here is a program:

;----------------------------------------------
PRO ContourPlotCrash

; Create a simple, random dataset for contouring:
data = RANDOMU(-3L, 9, 9)

levels =[0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75]

; Contour function.
w = Window(DIMENSIONS=[500, 400])
loadCT, 33, RGB_TABLE=rgb, NCOLORS=4
ctr=contour(data, C_VALUE=levels, /CURRENT, $
POSITION=[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.8], /FILL, $
c_Color=['red', 'green', 'yellow', 'blue'], $
;RGB_TABLE=rgb, RGB_INDICES=Indgen(4)
AXIS_STYLE=2)
names = String(levels,FORMAT='(F0.2)')
cb = Colorbar(TARGET=ctr, $
TICKNAME=names, $
POSITION=[0.1, 0.85, 0.9, 0.9])

END
;---------------------------------------------------

Here is my IDL session. I am running, at the moment,
with SOFTWARE rendering.

Can anyone, anywhere make any sense of that!? :-(

Cheers,

David
