sfcontour is a program for generating contour plots of 2-D data. It shares many of its parameters with other 2-D plotting programs, such as
sfgrey and
sfgraph. You can access these parameters by running
sfdoc stdplot.
Let us discuss some of the parameters specific to
sfcontour.
The number of contours, their origin and increment are given by
nc=,
c0=,
dc=. If these parameters are not specified, they are determined from the data values. The contour lines in the following picture from
jsg/agath/radon were created with
sfcontour c0=10 dc=10 nc=10
Alternatively, the contours can be specified in a list with
c= or in a file with
cfile=.
By default, sfcontour plots only contours for the positive values of the input. If you want both positive and negative values to be represented, use
allpos=n.
A 3-D version of
sfcontour is
sfcontour3.
The contour lines in the following picture from
jsg/flat/comaz were created with
sfcontour3 cfile=
