This class generates isocurves of a user defined function. Curves are drawn to OpenGL dc or stored in line strips.
In this article, you will learn about a contour plot class, which is an improved version of the Level Curve Tracing Algorithm. It was designed to draw iso-contour of a user-defined function f(x,y).
