Hello Alexander, Hello all,
as far as i know there are two implementations for computing contours.
The 'old' __contourc__.cc (before April 07) from octplot (originating
from plplot etc.) and a improved 'new' version (April' 07) also from
octplot to support filled contours. This was required (as you have
noticed), because the 'old' version generates in some cases broken contours.
The 'old' version has also been included in the octave tree.
If you talk about the octplot/contourf.m implemetation, this does not
include any contour finding as it relies on contourc.m/__contourc__.cc
for this purpose. The combination of contourf.m and __contourc__.cc from
octplot should work pretty well.
Unfortunately the 'new' version of __contourc__.cc (also to be found in
the octplot svn) has some problems as well. So, I have a third version
of __contourc__.cc - a major rewrite, which is almost finished. I plan
to post it for discussion on the maintainers list very soon. (If all
works out well, maybe this week).
Regarding your last question, is this related to this thread [1] or a
more general approach?
Kai
