I, too, would like to find out what the latest scoop is in
contouring packages. Meteorologists use lots of data that is
usually contoured to deduce the meaning of the numbers. NCAR graphics
is typically used, but I have developed a strong dislike for this
software, even though it is public domain (NCAR graphics seems to be
just "thrown" together and is hard to learn because it is poorly
documented).
Any comments on this are appreciated. I'm sure I speak for lots of
scientists.
