Thank you for your reply. I wanted to try it but for seom reason the code that
has been running without a problem suddenly gave this error:
import win32com.client
srf = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Surfer.Application') # after
this line of code the error below is produced...

Any idea of what this is and how to solve it?

The problem here, I think, is that ShowColorScale is a property of the
IContourMap interface, but you've been given an IShape interface. One
of the issues about COM is that some objects implement many different
interfaces, and you have to know which interface to ask for to get the
methods and properties you want.
The answer, as the old poster suggested, is to query the IShape object
for its IContourMap interface. It shouldn't be very much more
complicated than this:
ImageMap1 = ImageLayer1.CastTo( "IContourMap" )
ImageMap1.ShowColorScale = True
