Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin):7.0552 Operating System: XP professional I have a 456x456 data set and try to get a contour plot. it is ok when I convert it into matrix. and I was able to get a contour plot with 'speed mode on". however, when I turned off the speed mode and redraw the plot, I got the error message "max # contours exceeds". the same message appears when I tried to export the plot into EPS file. Can you give me some help? thanks.
can you reduce the number of contour levels? If your data is noisy, there can be a lot of small countours and the total number of them might push the limitation on total number of contours. If you adjust the levels, you might be able to avoid showing all those small noise-related contours.
Thanks. I tried to reduce the contour level number and it didn't works. and I don't think this is the point since I only have 8 contour levels. by the way, do you know what's the max number of max contours?
It is not the number of levels that matters, it is usually one particular level that just happen to show a lot of very small contours. Did you try changing to 9 or 10 levels?
