Seriously? No help whatsoever!?

OK, then I think three conclusions are possible.

1. Despite claims to the contrary, no one outside
of Exelis uses function graphics.

2. If people do use function graphics, they can't
figure out how to do this simple contour plot
example with them.

3. The example is so trivial that no one wants to
embarrass me further by pointing out my obvious
inability to understand the very simplest things.

If conclusion 3 is the true conclusion, then I
urge you to come forward anyway. I'm going to
blame everything on Coyote, of course, so no permanent
damage can be done. ;-)

Here is what I have so far:

Code: http://www.idlcoyote.com/misc/compare_contour_plots.pro
Pic: http://www.idlcoyote.com/misc/idl_8.2.1_contour.png

Issues to resolve:

1. Contour plot doesn't honor POSITION keyword.
2. Contour plot doesn't use correct colors.
3. Only half of box axes in place.
4. Color bar has correct colors, but no taper.
5. Color bar not labeled correctly.

Cheers,

David
