I'm afraid I misspoke yesterday. Both examples were tried with the
ExtendGraphics version of ListContourPlot, but in case #1, the argument
was a list of {x,y,z} triples, and in case #2, the argument was the
corresponding rectangular array of z-values.
Also, I now believe the problem has to do with MathLink. Yesterday, I
was working with the MultiLinkServer and Mathematica Link for Excel,
which, I assume, makes use of MathLink. So I tried the following
examples in a fresh Mathematica session running a local Kernel:
pts= Table[x y,{x,-1.,1.,.2},{y,-1.,1.,.2}];
Dimensions[pts]
lcpts=ListContourPlot[pts,DisplayFunction->Identity];
Show[lcpts,ColorFunction->(RGBColor[1.-#,.06,#]&),
MeshRange->{{-1.,1.},{-1.,1.}},DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction ]
, and
pts2=Flatten[Table[{x,y,x y},{x,-1.,1.,.2},{y,-1.,1.,.2}],1 ];
lcpts2=ListContourPlot[pts,DisplayFunction->Identity];
Show[lcpts2,ColorFunction->(RGBColor[1.-#,.1,#]&),
MeshRange->{{-1.,1.},{-1.,1.}},DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction ]
Dimensions[pts2]
Both plots should be colored contour plots. (Requires the
ExtendGraphics packages.)
Could my problem be a result of the MathLink bug in version 3.0.x ? or
is it be a problem with MultiLink (I haven't yet written Episoft about
this)? The Contour package apparently runs using MathLink to some
independently running packages that Tom wrote, and I wonder if the two
usages of MathLink are somehow interfering with each other. I'd still
like to contour plot irregularly spaced data with color while linking to
Excel.
