Possible to extract a contour line?

Hi all,

Is it possible to extract a contour line from a grid surface chart? The lines are obviously in the chart at intervals defined by my custom palette. Can I somehow get the points in the polyline? If not, can I possibly apply a custom color to one contour line?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

At this point the chart cannot send back the contour lines as polylines. Unfortunately, highlighting a specific contour is also not supported. It is possible to workaround the problem, but this involves replacing the whole automatic zoning with a custom dynamically generated texture that displays both the surface filling and the contour lines. Note that such solution won't work for flat surfaces as the texture should be mapped on the XY or YZ plane.

OK.  It sounds like I will have to implement the isoline search. 

Thanks.
