Hi Gloria, The lack of repsonse to your question sadly suggests that not many people have made a Harker section recently.
You could probably make a fancier plot with matplotlib in Pytbon or Gnuplot, but I use Map Slicer under the Visuallization pulldown in the ccp4i gui to make old-fashion contour plots of Harker sections. You have to play around with the scale and and other settings to get what you need, especially if you have a unit cell angles that not equal to 90 degrees. In such a case, you may have to spend an hour tweaking these parameters. If you can live with a bitmap image of the map, you can always take a snapshot of the image in the gui, which is not always replicated completely in the exported postscript file. If needed, you can also edit the postscript file in a text editor.
