Annotating Contour Lines
Contour lines can be annotated automatically with the value of the contour level or with user-supplied labels.
Default Contour Annotation
By default, every other contour is annotated with the value of the contour line.
To enable this default annotation, select the Follow button in the Method Style section of the controls area.
User-specified Contour Labels
To specify contour labels other than the default labels, do the following:
1. Select Follow in the Method Style section of the controls area.
2. Select Attributes=>Contour Attributes from the menu bar.
3. Choose the contour level you want to annotate. Do this by clicking on the contour level number in the Contour # list box. You can select only one contour level to annotate at a time. The first contour level (1) is the outermost contour.
4. Select the Special Annotation button in the Contour Attributes dialog box.
5. Enter the text for the annotation in the Special Annotation text field.
6. Click OK or Apply to apply the changes. The new annotation is displayed with the contour level you selected.
