Missing data in 'Save Preferences' file

Hi David,

When I use 'Save Preferences', Dplot doesn't seem to store the 'Lines/Levels' data (i.e. intervals, lower & upper) as entered in the 'Contour Options'. Could you add this to the preference data.

Cheers

There's actually a fairly good reason for not saving that information to preference files. If the data for a new plot is outside the limits specified then you'll get a blank plot in the case of contour lines or a single solid color in the case of shaded bands. Either would, at least initially, lead you to believe there's a bug in DPlot rather than this being due to goofy settings.

A better answer (I think) is to write a short macro with a ContourLevels command and assign a shortcut key to it.

OK David. The macro idea sounds like a good way to get around it.
