Contour Maps

I decided to expirement with the different methods of contouring data in Matlab. There were three different methods, and I tried them all.
First is the cubic contour. Every other contour line is labelled. The data points are plotted as circles. Click here for the image.
Next I did the contour by nearest neighbour. Again, every other contour is labelled, and the data points are plotted as circles. Click here for the image.
Finally, I tried out the default selection. (I actually did this one first, but I'm listing it last because it was the most important.) Here is the contour map that was thus produced. Like always, every other contour is labelled, but this time the data points are plotted as black crosses. To see how I plotted this in matlab, view the diary
I decided on this contour map to be the one I would use, for the simple fact that the different contour maps are not all that different, and it is easier to do this with the default setting.
Next, I plotted it without the data points, for ease of viewing. That plot is here. Again, contours are labelled on every other line. The final plot I made was the same, but without any contours labelled. This plot was used in the rectified images on the results page.
