Seadisp Contour Widget

Description:  This procedure is to generate a contour plot either on the displayed image, or in a separate plot window.  The image can be included in a new plot window.  Either the raw data or geophysical data can be used as a source for contouring.  Many options are provided.

Action Items:
Algorithm
Default  A cell-based algorithm.  It is faster than the Follow method, but does not allow contour labelling.
Follow A contour-line based algorithm. This method is slower, but looks better with dashed line styles.  Also, it allows contour labelling which the default method does not.
Fill Toggle specifying whether or not to color fill the contour levels.  List the fill colors to be used in the field Graphics palette.  Separate each with a comma.
Data source Specify whether to contour the raw or geophysical data.
Data ignored (Geo or Raw unit)
Equal or above  Pixel values (in Geo or Raw units) equal to or above this value are ignored (treated as missing data) when contouring.
Less than Pixel values (in Geo or Raw units) less than this value are ignored (treated as missing data) when contouring.
Option of contour level
Equally spaced Equally space the contour levels, based on Number of equally spaced contour levels.
User-specified  Provide a customized list of contour levels in field User specified contour levels.  Separate each entry with a comma.
Number of equally spaced contour level Enter the number of contour levels desired.
User specified contour level Enter a customized list of contour levels.  Separate with commas.
Parameters for each contour level
Annotation Enter a list of annotations for each level.  Separate values with commas.  Annotation capability is only provided with the Follow algorithm.
Graphics palette  Enter a list of graphics palette colors (1 to 7) for each contour level.  These colors will apply to either the contour lines or the contour fill colors.  Separate with commas.
Line thickness Enter a list of line thicknesses for each contour level.  Separate with commas.
Line style Enter a list of line styles for each contour level.  Separate with commas.
    0= Solid
    1= Dots
    2= Dashes
    3= Dash-dot
    4= Dash-dot-dot-dot
    5= Long dashes
More graphics parameters for Display the General Graphics Setup Widget to change the X and Y axes for the contour plots.
Output to
New Window Output contour plot to a new window.
 
X size Specify the X-dimension of the new plot window.
Y size Specify the Y-dimension of the new plot window.
Include Image?  Specify whether or not to first display the image in the new plot window, before applying the contour plot.
Frame Buffer  Overplot the contour plot on the displayed image window.
Quit Destroy the widget.
Help Display the on-line help in the HTML viewer.
Go Perform the contour plot using the specified options.
