[ncl-talk] different labels than contour interval

[Don Murray (NOAA Affiliate)]

Thanks, Kyle.  I tried the stride, but it doesn't allow you to set the 
start/end points.

And, I was hoping to avoid the explicit lbLabelStrings, but maybe that's 
the best solution.  It would be nice if there was a lbLabelValues 
attribute to go along with lbLabelStrings, like there is for the tick marks.
