Re: Custom Levels

[verschel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Mark A. Verschell)]

Arne,

	I have tried this before and didn't have any luck with trying tricks.
The only things I have that worked are:

1) Try to group levels together (0,30,10)(30,110,20),etc... Unfortunatley, this
won't work in your case unless you change your levels, as there is only 1 short
grouping in the beginning.

2) Use shade/over to plot successive levels. E.g.,

shade/lev=(0)(10)(20)(30)(42)(58)(75)(95)(120)(150)(185)(225)(275)(335) var
shade/over/lev=(405)(485)(580)(695)(835)(1005)(1210)(1455)(1745)(2085) var
shade/over/lev=(2480)(2940)(3475)(4100)(4825)(5650)(6525) var

Of course, this works better with contour - as you either get a wrong key, or
you must say /nokey with the first one and get - no key.

Perhaps you could do a shade plot with no key and then overlay a contour with
the values. Be sure to use the /pen command with the multiple contours to get
the same pen for each contour plot.
