Thanks, Chris. I'm curious, though. Why is the default behavior of the
Contour command to display contour labels upside down? It's a curious
choice. I honestly can't think how this default feature might be to some
advantage. Maybe if you are a spy and have to read documents upside
down.

Cheers,

David
