Hi,

Can one draw contour lines in POV-Ray? If yes, is it possible to specify their
thickness?

I'm looking to switch from Matlab plots to another application that can produce
publication quality plots.

Thanks!

there are a few hacks around if one has the patience to look up for them.

Free software, but not quite related to the GNU project...

Check Asymptote at  http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/
it is designed for technical drawing
of publication quality plots in eps or pdf format,
but you need a TeX/LaTeX system installed.
