Contour Tables

A "Contour Table" is used to define a listing of Z-values and their corresponding line styles and (optionally) contour labels, to be used by the program when building 2D line contour maps for which you have requested "Custom" intervals.

! You can store multiple Contour tables in your project database. You can assign detailed names so that they'll be easy to distinguish when you're selecting which to use. Contour tables can be accessed in the Project Manger program tab, under the Project Tables | Map/Model Tables grouping.

Table Format

• The Order column is assigned automatically as you edit the table. You can edit the Order values to re-order the rows.
• You may list as many values + line styles (+ labels) as you wish.
• The contour intervals do not need to be regularly spaced.
• The text labels should not be enclosed in quotation marks.
• Labels can include numbers (such as: 350) and letters (such as: Anomalous).

! If you need to verify the Z value range of your grid model, use the Grid | Statistics | Report command to view a grid summary.
