Paul,
If the above example doesn't help in your situation, send me email
personally and I'll see if there's something I can do.
One thing I did notice in your script is that gsnMaximize is not being
set to True. This might make your plot larger in the plotting frame,
and thus allow more room for contour labels to appear. The contour
labelling algorithm is a complicated one that looks at distances
between adjacent contour lines and line gradients (among other things)
to determine if a contour line should be drawn. By making your plot
larger, this increases the amount of space between contour lines, and
thus the algorithm might slip in a few more contour labels.
