Yep Charlie, I recently discovered that after struggling two years ;-) My workaround until now was to save the contour img's as mp files. Only that way it was displayed correctly. Now I know we just have to leave the line "mapname: ..." out of the args file. Like Felix adviced, levels must be the the same, and the map numbers were higher with my maps as well. I also found out recently that the --show-profiles=1 option works now within the map (thought it only worked with a separate contour file map, not a combined one). Cheers, Minko ----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- Van: charlie No way! Is this why I can't get contour lines to display in MapSource (even though I know they're there because I can see the contour elevation labels)??? I'd given up on ever getting contours to work properly in MapSource. Prize for obscurest workaround of the year so far if this works. ;) -- Charlie
