Choose Depth Fade (contour).
The Depth Fade contour shader changes the line width and color based on Z depth, in world units.
If a contour point is more distant than Far Z, the contour gets color Far Color and the width gets Far Width. If a point is
nearer than Near Z, the contour gets color Near Color and the width gets Near Width. If the depth is in between, the color
and width are linearly interpolated.
