Hi Tom
Using the below Jython code I was able to draw contours for 3,5,7....24
degrees Celsius.
Now I have to identify points that are inside each contours to apply
specific functions depending on the contour they are.
Do you know how I can get contour coordinates?
If you think I should do it in a different way please let me know.
Regards
Jose

dc.setContourInfo(cInfo)
