It worked for me when I changed the C_FILL_PATTERN argument to an
array like this:
c=contour( ... C_FILL_PATTERN = [pattern] ... )

It's a case where you have to read the documentation quite literally.

C_FILL_PATTERN
Set this property to an array of IDLgrPattern objects representing the
patterns to be applied at each contour level if the FILL property is
non-zero. If there are more contour levels than fill patterns, the
patterns will be cyclically repeated. If this property is set to 0,
all contour levels are filled with a solid color (this is the
default).

Hi David,

Your example works for me if the C_FILL_PATTERN is passed as an array
like this:
...contour( ... C_FILL_PATTERN= [pattern] ...)

Looks like the documentation on the keyword parm must be taken quite
literally.

Humm. Thanks. This is going to be hard for me after
years of reading the IDL documentation as allegory. :-)

Cheers,

David

Reminds me red lights in Boston being "suggestions".

Hi all,

This was actually a bug in IDLgrContour:

...
square = OBJ_NEW('IDLgrContour', $
dist(100), /FILL, $
C_FILL_PATTERN=pattern)
xobjview, square

It's fixed for IDL 8.2. You can now specify a scalar object.
