(b) Contour and Profile Plot Options

The options mentioned in the procedure above include drawing color-filled contours/profiles
(instead of the default line contours/profiles), specifying a range of values to be contoured or profiled,
including portions of the mesh in the contour or profile display, choosing node or cell values for
display, and storing the contour or profile plot settings.

(c) Drawing Filled Contours or Profiles
To display smoothly shaded filled contours, you must turn on lighting and select a lighting
interpolation method other than Flat in the Display Options dialog box or the Lights dialog box. Note
that you will not get smooth shading of filled contours if the Clip to Range (see below) option is turned
on. Smooth shading of filled profiles is not available.
