How to create contour plot about material properties in apdl

  Dear Members,
  
  Is there a command to create a contour plot of material property values (like elastic modulus or density). I know that I can list the material properties, however I do need to visualize them.
  
  Besides, I found a possible solution on other websites which is below:
  
  "> This is going to be a three step solution:
  > 1. store the material number of each element in an array (*VGET)
  > 2. replace the material numbers in the array by the appropriate material
  > property value (e. g. the value of KXX)
  > 3. define an element solution (DESOL) containing the material property
  > values and plot it (PLESOL)"
  
  I tried, but I don't know how to realize the step 2 and 3.
  
  I'll really appreciate if anyone could help me.
  
  Thanks a lot!
  
  Iris
