Argument	Type	Range	Default
appearanceConst	int	0..127	default
numOfGridPointsHorizontal	int	2..100000	(autom.)
numOfGridPointsVertical	int	2..100000	(autom.)
arrangeColumnByColumn	int	0..1	off
margins	num[]	0..0.5	0.5

Examples

ContourPlot(label;11;5)

ContourPlot(label+symbol;11;5;0;)

Description

Two functions are available to set up contour plots: ContourPlot() and ContourPlotOptions() . The appearance of the contour lines can be controlled by the LineStyle() and LineColorScheme() functions, the labels by using the five style functions LabelTexts() , LabelStyle() , LabelBackground() , LabelBackgroundOptions() and LabelOptions() . By using the function BorderStyle() the appearance of the border around the contour plot can be controlled.
