Adds isopycnal lines to an existing temperature-salinity plot. This is
called by plotTS(), and may be called by the user also, e.g. if
an image plot is used to show TS data density.

optional density levels to draw.
boolean, set to TRUE to write all density labels
horizontally.
boolean, set to TRUE to write isopycnal labels as e.g.
1024 instead of 24.
number of decimal digits to use in label (supplied to
round()).
equation of state to be used, either "unesco" or
"gsw".
logical value (TRUE by default) that
indicates whether to trim isopycnal curves (if drawn)
to the region of temperature-salinity space for which density
computations are considered to be valid in the context of the
chosen eos; see the “Details” of the documentation
for plotTS().
size for labels.
color for lines and labels.
line width for isopycnal curves
line type for isopycnal curves
