Description

     Contour to postscript is a mapper module
     which creates contours on a 2D data set.
     The 2D dataset can be a uniform, rectilinear or a
     irregular field.
     All the properties of a fine contour module are
     present in this module!
     
     The contours can be optionally colored by a colormap.
     The levels of the contours can be chosen by 
     automatic scaling, min/max scaling (with typein min/max)
     or with typein levels.
     Dependent on the choice of the level distribution method,

Typei

n boxes or dials appear.

Output

statistics are generated in a text block.
     The minimum and maximum value of the field is given in
     an adjustible format.
     If the number of levels is less than 24, the levels are
     given as well.
     The module optionally creates Postscript output. The postscript
     file contains "moveto" and "lineto" commands, so
     the resolution of the Postscript printer will be used and 
     straight lines appear on the plot (!).
     If the Postscript output is chosen, a typein for the filename
     and the size of the plot appear.

Inputs

	InputField - field 2D 3-space scalar float
            
	InputCmap - colormap

Parameters

level choice (radio_buttons):
      do you want automatic scaling, typein min/max scaling or
      chose the contour levels yourself ?
Boundary (toggle)
      do you want to see the boundary of the geometry?
nr of levels (typein_integer)
      how much contour levels do you want?
Postscript output (toggle)
      do you want to create a Postscript file of the geometry?
Postscript file (typein)
      what is the name of the Postscript file you want output written to?
max size in cm (typein_integer)
      what size do you want for the plot in the Postscript file?
output statistics (textblock)
      some information on your field and the contour levels.

	OutputGeom - geom
