Re: [mathcad] Contouring irregular data
Author: Tom Gutman    Posted: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:00:15 -0700
When you have multiple plots in a graph each one can be a different
type. Usually you would not have more than one contour plot, which
will occupy the X-Y plane. To plot points over a contour plot they
would usually be plotted the usual way you would plot points -- as
scatter plots.
