3-D Surface Chart or Contour Chart

[aspencer27]

I have two questions:
1) If I have a 3-D surface chart and I show it in the contour (2-D) mode, is
there a way to plot x-y points on this chart?
2) For the contour chart, is there a way to get the colors to blend between
values?
Thanks!

You cannot make a combination chart with a 3D chart. A contour chart is
dranw in 3D mode, but it's still a 3D chart, just viewed from on end. I've
made a very complex chart for a client that is actually two charts, a
contour chart underneath, and an XY chart with almost everything made
transparent on top.

2) For the contour chart, is there a way to get the colors to blend
between
values?

No.
