Dear Mathgroupers,
Sorry to bother you twice in one day but...
* Is the ContourSmoothing option for ContourGraphics, ListContourPlot
etc, incorrectly documented in the big black book ?
This states (p.771 Ed.2)
"ContourSmoothing -> None specifies that no smoothing should be done,
and each contour should consist of straight segments between
successive grid lines. ContourSmoothing->n specifies that contour
lines should be found by dividing each grid square n times in each
direction. ... ContourSmoothing->Automatic is equivalent to
ContourSmoothing->4 "
I looked at Options[ContourGraphics] it gives ContourSmoothing->True
^^^^
* what does this do ? OK, it's a rhetorical question ;-)
* what are the alternative options ?
I tried ContourSmoothing->10 and got an error message
"ContourSmoothing::ctnsm: -- Message text not found -- (10)"
* what has happened to this option ?
* how can I control the interpolation used to smooth the contour plot ?
Any ideas ?
