Wayne,
That does make sense. I imagine that a problem for dashing the contours
might occur for peaks that appear on the edge of the folded/unfolded area.
Still, dashed contours might be nice since I do find that the dashed
peak markers are not sufficient for me to avoid starting to pick new
peaks in the wrong area, or even just find my way back to the 'actual
spectrum' after having picked peaks in the extended regions.
Perhaps another approach would be to 'dim' the contours in the extended
region? (i.e. make them halfway between the contour colors and the
background or something?) In any case, I imagine any of these approaches
to be optional since it might not always be desirable/necessary.
