Hi. Can someone give me a pointer to overlaying a sub contour plot on an already plotted contour. I want to illustrate graphically a region that is of particular interest to me.

Thanks

Jason

Do you mean something like the attached, Jason?

Unless you have some particular reason to have a mostly empty array, you are probably better off using x and y co-ordinate matrices to specify the x and y points rather than using the Axes limits.

Thanks Stuart - I'd forgotten about the alternative notation to use for the graphic!
