MovieContourPlot seems to be "quick and dirty" code: ?MovieContourPlot --> "MovieContourPlot[f[x,y,t], {x,x0,x1}, {y,y0,y1}, {t,t0,t1}, options...] will animate x,y-contour-plots \ of the given function by varying t." but with a /function/ as parameter it wil not do what it should. MovieContourPlot[Sin[#3 + Sqrt[#1^2 + #2^2]]&, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {t, 0, 2*Pi}] will fail but an /expression/ will do it: MovieContourPlot[Sin[#3 + Sqrt[#1^2 + #2^2]]&[x, y, t], {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {t, 0, 2*Pi}] so i guess the impossibility to get any option for this function is due to sleazy programming. (I did not have a look at the code, but surely a SetOptions[MovieContourPlot,...] is missing) Peter
