\section{Contour}
\index{contour}
\index{.z file}

The contour block produces contour lines of a function $z = f(x,y)$.

The function $f(x,y)$ is given by a .z file. The .z file format is discussed on page~\pageref{zfile:pg}. Recall that a .z file can be created from sample data points, that is $(x,y,z)$ tuples, with the {\sf fitz} block (Section~\ref{fitz:sec}), or from an implicit definition of $f(x,y)$ with a {\sf letz} block (Section~\ref{letz:sec}).

\begin{minipage}[c]{8cm}
\begin{Verbatim}
include "contour.gle"

begin contour
   data "saddle.z"
   values 0.5 1 1.5 2 3
end contour

begin graph
   title "Saddle Plot Contour Lines"
   data  "saddle-cdata.dat"
   d1 line color blue
end graph

contour_labels "saddle-clabels.dat" "fix 1"
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[c]{7cm}
\mbox{\input{utilities/fig/saddle-contour.inc}}
\end{minipage}

The contour block can contain the following commands:

\begin{commanddescription}
\item[{\sf data {\it file\$}}]\index{data} Specifies the name of the .z file.

\item[{\sf values $v_1,\ldots, v_n$}]\index{values} Specifies the z-values to contour at.

\item[{\sf values from $v_1$ to $v_n$ step $s$}] Specifies the z-values to contour at by means of from/to/step.

\item[{\sf smooth {\it integer}}]\index{smooth} Specifies the smoothing parameter.
\end{commanddescription}

The contour block creates the files ``data-clabels.dat'' and ``data-cdata.dat'' with the prefix ``data'' the name of the .z file. The file ``data-clabels.dat'' contains information for drawing labels on the contour plot. This is done by the subroutine {\sf contour\_labels} defined in the library ``contour.gle'' in the example above. The file ``data-cdata.dat'' contains the $(x,y)$ values of the contour lines. This file can be used as input to a graph block and plotted with the ``d1 line'' command as shown in the example above.

\section{Color Maps}
\label{colormap}
\index{colormap}

Color maps plot a function $z = f(x,y)$ by mapping $z$ to a color range. The following example combines a color map with a contour plot.

\begin{minipage}[c]{8cm}
\begin{Verbatim}
begin contour
   data "volcano.z"
   values from 130 to 190 step 10
end contour

begin graph
   title "Auckland's Maunga Whau Volcano"
   data "volcano-cdata.dat"
   xaxis min 0 max 20
   yaxis min 0 max 20
   d1 line color black
   colormap "volcano.z" 100 100
end graph
\end{Verbatim}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[c]{7cm}
\mbox{\input{utilities/fig/volcano.inc}}
\end{minipage}

The options to the colormap command are as follows:

\begin{commanddescription}
\item[{\sf colormap {\it fct} {\it pixels-x} {\it pixels-y} [color] [invert] [zmin $z_1$]  [zmax $z_2$] [palette {\it pal}]}]

\mbox{}\\
\begin{itemize}
\item {\it fct} specifies the function to map. This can either be the name of a .z file, or it can be a function definition $f(x,y)$.

\item {\it pixels-x}, {\it pixels-x} specify the dimension of the color map. A color map is a stored as a bitmap image and ({\it pixels-x}, {\it pixels-x}) are the resolution of this bitmap. A larger resolution yields more detail, but at the cost of longer computation time and a larger file size.

\item {\it color} is an optional argument and indicates that the color map should be drawn in color (as opposed to grayscale).

\item {\it invert} is an optional argument that inverts the color map. That is, large function values will be drawn in black and small function values in white.

\item {\it zmin}, {\it zmax} are optional arguments that specify the range of the function.

\item {\it palette} is an optional argument that specifies the palette to use. A palette is a subroutine that maps $z$ values to colors. A number of example palette subroutines are included in the library ``color.gle''.
\end{itemize}
\end{commanddescription}

The following example is a color map of a two dimensional Gaussian.

\begin{minipage}[c]{8cm}
\begin{Verbatim}
include "color.gle"

sub gauss x y
   s = 0.75
   return exp(-(x^2+y^2)/(2*s^2))
end sub

begin graph
   title "2D Gaussian"
   xaxis min -2 max 2
   yaxis min -2 max 2
   colormap gauss(x,y) 200 200 zmin 0 zmax 1 color
end graph
