Contour (7)

I believe the answer is:

outline

'contour' is the definition.
(I know that contour is a more specific form of the action outline)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for outline that I've seen before include "Sketchy plan" , "Framework" , "Sketch; general statement" , "Sketch, skeleton" , "Give a rough idea" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
