3.2. Program 2 Grid sequence contouring It is rather more typical to want contours presented as curves instead of as the edges between bands of colour. The minimal method for this uses a grid rather coarser than pixels, with the pieces of line which make up the contour being computed by joining the points where the contour levels cut the edges of the small cells (chess-squares) the domain is thus .divided into.
