The blank is because the max for your contour levels is 40 and it won't contour above that. You could specify two ranges in the interval as: .5/0/40;200/40/1000 and set your color scale to be 0 to 40. That way, anything above 40 will be set to the color of 40. > With ferret, I produce this with: > yes? shade/lev=(0,40,0.5)(INF)/pal=inverse_grayscale a[l=1] > > Note the INF level > and see attached image Don Murray Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: MJF-900745 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Open
