Our next example (Figure 6.12) operates on a data set of topographic readings non-uniformly distributed in the plane (Table 5.11 in Davis: Statistics and Data Analysis in Geology, J. Wiley). We use triangulate to perform the optimal Delaunay triangulation, then use the output to draw the resulting network. We label the node numbers as well as the node values, and call pscontour to make a contour map and image directly from the raw data. Thus, in this example we do not actually make gridded files but still are able to contour and image the data. We use a color palette table topo.cpt (supplied with the script data separately). The script becomes:
