Hi Patricia,The entire source code for Ferret is available from the Ferret Downloads pages,
The contouring routine is in old (but good!) Fortran. Once you untar the source code, it can be found in the file,
FERRET/ppl/plotlib/contur.FIt does not only the contouring, drawing lines as it goes, but also interrupts the lines to make the numeric contour labels. A bit of the origin of the code is discussed here,

Dear ferreters, Is there a possibility to access the actual code of ferret functions like contour? I would be interested in the code ferret uses to generate a contour plot from data. Cheers, Patricia
