Sounds like a nightmare! I thought there might be some clever way
of tweaking the fill routine in contour (I'm a bit of an IDL novice). I
may have to write my own script to do this instead.

The reason I'm doing it is that I need some self-consistent way of
defining a closed region in a fluid flow problem. It doesn't matter if
it's ad hoc just so long as it's consistent.

Thank you for your help,
Steve
