Contour Plot

The Contour Plot window displays the results of a contour map specification as accurate, straight-line contours.

View the changes in the mapped attribute over time by using the animation feature. Choose Analysis > Time Browser and click the Play button to automatically advance through the time step increments selected in the Increment bar.

The plot can be printed or exported as a .DXF file. Choose File > Export > DXF to export the plot.

Although the straight-line contours generated by this program are accurate, smooth contours are often more desirable for presentation purposes. You can smooth the contours by clicking Options and selecting Smooth Contours.

Note: Contour line index labels can be manually repositioned in this view before sending the plot to the printer. The Contour Plot Status pane displays the Z coordinate at the mouse cursor.
