Unfortunately I need the key because it contains an important
information in this case (you might have noticed that I want to plot a
topography, and the key is therefore the vertical discretization). And,
because I want to do a shade, it is not possible to get informations
from an overlying contour command.

Is there any possibility to generate the key step by step?
