contour and IDL 5.0? [message #9680] Fri, 25 July 1997 00:00

Hi,

I have just upgraded from IDL 4.0.1 (linux) to IDL 5.0. I have an IDL
program that makes a filled contour plot of some data over a map
projection. With IDL 4, I used

contour,data,lon,lat,/cell_fill,levels=lev,c_color=colors,/o ver

I used cell_fill because, /fill fails to do a decent contour over a map.
It was slow, produces huge PS files but at least it works and it was
easy.
The same command on IDL 5 only produces garbages.
The IDL 5 contour does not seems to support the cell_fill keyword
anymore.
The online help still warns you about the use of /fill with several map
projections but do not gives any alternatives.

Any ideas?
