    Hi Xi,<br>
    <br>
    have you taken a look at the first example of the vector examples

    When you want to control the minimum/maximum and interval of the
    contour lines use<br>
    
    <pre>  res@cnLevelSelectionMode = &quot;ManualLevels&quot;     ; set manual contour levels
  res@cnMinLevelValF       = 24.0               ; set min contour level
  res@cnMaxLevelValF       = 29                 ; set max contour level
