Have you read the article on my web page about replacing
the image data in an iImage tool:
http://www.dfanning.com/itool_tips/newdata.html
I haven't tried this with an iContour plot, but I
presume the process would be similar. In particular,
I'd see if there was a VIEW_NEXT option as described
by the folks at RSI at the end of the article.
Cheers,
David
