Contour

The Contour series is used to represent a set of three-dimensional data as elevation contour lines. It has three mandatory series components, Position, Depth and Value. The data in the Position and Depth components must form a 2D rectangular grid on the xz plane. Each contour line comprises points having the same elevation value in the Value component. 

If the UseGradient property is set to true, the contour lines will be colored using a color gradient. The color gradient is formed using the StartColor, MidColor, and EndColor properties that respectively controls the start, middle, and end colors of the color gradient. 

If the UsePalette property is set to true, the contour lines will be colored using a predefined color palette that is specified by the PaletteStyle property. 

If both the UseGradient and the UsePalette properties are set to false, the contour lines will be colored using the color specified by the ContourPen property.

The number of contour levels can be specified with the NumLevels property.
