Oh, I see! The fuzziness goes away because you are thinning
the number of annotations on the contour lines. The fuzziness
comes from contour annotations being written too close together
for very short lines. Is this something you plan to fix as
the default, or do you expect people to realize they have to
"thin" the number of annotations if they get fuzzy results?

Cheers,

David
