While this may be a workaround from a practical point of view, it feels very kludgy, and I don't think it is entirely satisfactory behaviour for several reasons. So I have also requested that this be considered as a bug in map_image, and either fixed, or else add a keyword so that the routine does what would
naively be expected.
Yes, this recalls a conversation of my own, in which I pointed out to
them that NLEVELS=12 on the Contour command was only producing 9 contour
levels. They suggested I use NLEVELS=14 or NLEVELS=15, then. Well, yes,
but that kind of "solution" doesn't really inspire a lot confidence in
the software, does it.
This, of course, eventually lead to the entire Coyote Library, just
because I couldn't stand relaying this incredibly awkward solution to
people attending IDL programming classes. And, once I got started I just
thought, "Oh, what the hell, as long as I'm fixing this I might as well
fix everything that bugs me." :-)
Cheers,
David
