Oliver,

It sounds like what you want can be done using the ExtendGraphics package
command ListContourPlot by Tom Wickham-Jones. This package modifies the
functionality of the ListContourPlot command to accept {x, y, z} points,
instead of simply plotting z-values versus array index. It can be found in
the MathSource library at
http://www.mathsource.com/Content/Enhancements/Graphics/3D/0208-976.

Also included in this package is another command called LabelContourLines,
which  will tag contour lines with their values. It might be helpful to
you.

BTW, all of these commands are explained in TWJ's book, Mathematica
Graphics (1994).

Hope this helps!

J.

My data can be written in such away, that I have a rectangular grid
(actually only almost, but that can be rewritten to be exact), with
non-integer values x1,x2,x3...   by y1,y2,y3... but they are not equally
spaced! This means I can not use the array index numbers which it uses to
plot by default. I would also like to have the proper labels of the values
of x and y for the axes, and not the array index number. Basically, I
would like a graph of 'ListSurfacePlot3D' which is flattened to be
contours in two dimensions instead of a 3D surface.
