Detailed Description

This tutorial illustrates the special contour options.

• "AITOFF" : Draw a contour via an AITOFF projection
• "MERCATOR" : Draw a contour via an Mercator projection
• "SINUSOIDAL" : Draw a contour via an Sinusoidal projection
• "PARABOLIC" : Draw a contour via an Parabolic projection
