I am quite sure this is *NOT* controllable from within IDL, you would
have to have access to the C program which performs the contouring.
Contour is in need of a major re-write, as is map_set! Will these
re-writes actually occur? Probably not, RSI prefers to add gee-whiz
features to IDL while older core routines remain broken.
