Re: [Fwd: [ncl-talk] contours from netcdf file]

It sounds to me what he would like is to be able to request something
like the x/y points that define the isoline for one or more values in
a scalar field.
Which is pretty much what you are saying. Of course, this is
calculated inside Conpack, but I don't know that there is any
interface to retrieve it.
