I am a meteorologist and I make my own weather maps. There are some products that come to me as shapefiles. My main contouring program handles shapefiles, but poorly and slowly.
I'm looking for a command line solution I can run in Linux which will overlay a shapefile to a navigated map image. I'm willing to change my basemaps to conform if necessary.

Any information on what software you're currently working with, how you process your data and what exactly your desired output should contain are not only appreciated but mandatory. Because right now I'd say "use QGIS" and you'd be none the wiser.

Erik - My basemaps are made in QGIS, but all my contouring is done in GrADS. In GrADS my basemaps are used as images (it can't read in navigated imagery). GrADS can process shapefiles but only grudgingly and slowly. Bera - I'd not thought of that because I had no idea you could do that. Program recommendation?

Can you build contours directly from a raster dataset?
GDAL_contour "Builds vector contour lines from a raster elevation model". This is not strictly limited to raster elevation models but will also work with other continuous raster datasets, such as air pressure.
You can find more here: https://www.gdal.org/gdal_contour.html
A basic example as provided by gdal is:
gdal_contour -a elev dem.tif contour.shp -i 10.0
where -a is the name of the attribute and -i is the contour interval. You can install gdal on any platform and run this in the command line
