NetLanders; The Contour Routines is being posted through comp.sources.misc, look there for the routines. The contour routine is not big. It is actually quite small. The key to using the routines is as follows: The routines expect the data to be upon some plane of coordinates x and y or whatever is being used. The random points are located within this 2d mesh of x and y points. The routine requires that 3 2d arrays should be present the first array is the location of the x point in mesh coordinates, and so on. You can read about it in the Man page supplied. This could be used to do random point contouring by masking the unused coordinates within the arrays with some value that you know the random values will not touch. Either way above the max or way below the minimun value of the function to be plotted. The source and man page follow. It uses unix type plot calls from a package developed here at Purdue (CRC Graphics). I am sure your system has a similiar package....Ed ===================================== ^ ================================= Edward L. Haletky |E |o| U| "To race against the sky..."
