It is as simple as that! :-)

Cheers,

Dear David,
thank you so much for your (as always) fast response.

I would have two further questions.
1. What if I do not need to create a resizeable graphic window - I just want to create PostScript file containing the filled contour plot on the map.
2. Ideally, I need multiple panels, each on its own copy of the map. Would your procedure work by just setting !p.Multi varialbles?

Sincerely
Alex

I would do it like this:

PS_START, Filename='whatever.ps'
.... commands from the article
PS_END

Cheers,
