You can't both establish the contour data space AND
overplot the contour lines (OVERPLOT keyword) on the
same command. OVERPLOT assumes a data space is already
established. (It is similar to PLOTS in this regard.)

I would use a CONTOUR with NODATA and [XY]STYLE=5 keywords
to establish the data coordinate space. Then use the CONTOUR
command with OVERPLOT to draw the contour lines, if that is
what you want to do.

IMGDISP or TVIMAGE will make this a WHOLE lot easier for you! :-)

Cheers,

David
