Ben - 

I got ahead of myself my cropping the image. The color mapping is correct. It 
is just different then what I expected. I thought it would partition the height 
field data based on the levels array and index into the color array. Turning 
off antialiasing did not solve the 'ghost lines'. I will play around with some 
of the arguments. It looks to me as if contour is being called with a line 
width of 1 and a color of white. Setting these line width to 0 did not make a 
difference.


Thanks,
Steve
