Are you asking about the D2D perspective or the National Centers
Perspective (NCP)? In D2D you hold right-click the product in the stack
(lower-right) and select "Load as Image" for a faux color-filled contour
map. In the NCP, color filled contours are determined by GEMPAK/NAWIPS
restore file syntax, accessed in the same was as D2D, hold right-click the
resource at bottom right and select "Edit...".
