Might want to check out vis5d:

http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/vis5d.html

They will have all the contouring code one
would ever need.

There is also the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT):

http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gmt.html

This should be good for a lot of back-end functionality.

Basically, there is ALOT of code out there freely
available for very high end workstations, written
by scientists and engineers for Sun's, HP's etc.
x86 really didn't show up on their radar screen 
until very lately, so linux is way down the list 
of supported platforms.
