# Illustrate work in progress on new plot style "with contourfill"
# The style options are
#   set contourfill
#	auto N		N evenly spaced slices spanning zrange
#       ztics   	slice boundary at every z axis major tic
#	cbtics  	slice boundary at every cb axis major tic
#
# cbtics are still active even if the colorbox isn't shown,
# so an arbitrary set of slice boundaries can be constructe via
#   set cbtics ( z1, z2, z3, z4, ... )
#   unset colorbox
#   set contourfill cbtics
#
# In all cases the fill color is taken from the palette value for the
# midpoint z of the slice.  Other coloring methods are planned.
