#183 "contour labels nowhiteunder" doesn't break line

[tomdwelly]

This bug is mentioned at:
http://gri.sourceforge.net/gridoc/html/KnownBugs.html#KnownBugs
But there doesn't appear to be any mention of it in
this bug tracking system.

I'm using gri version: 2.12.7 on linux (RedHat, 2.4
kernel).

In summary:
When setting the contour label style to:
"set contour labels nowhiteunder"
The contour lines are not broken underneath the labels,
making the label text fairly unreadable.

Also, is it possible to write the contour label text in
a different colour to the contour lines?

Thanks

Tom

Thanks for getting the bug into the SF system. I had forgotten about it.

Is the normal contour scheme not good for your application?

As for the color, I think I should have new commands like
set color for text ..
set color for lines...
or something. But that doesn't exist yet, so the answer to your question
is that the contour labels have to be the same colour as the text.

I hope this helps.

The only reason that this is a (minor) problem is because I
am trying to plot white contours over a greyscale image.
Hence the white label text dissapears when using the
"whiteunder" mode.

However, I think with a bit of trial and error, I should be
able to come up with a colourmap which makes everything more
or less visible.

Ta anyway,

Tom

PS Congrats on gri in general, it makes very pretty plots.
