contour
(x=None, y=None, z=None, data=None, **kwargs)¶ Contour table data by direct triangulation.
Takes a matrix, (x,y,z) pairs, or a file name as input and plots lines, polygons, or symbols at those locations on a map.
Must provide either data or x, y, and z.

- Parameters
y, z (x,) – Arrays of x and y coordinates and values z of the data points.
data (str or 2d array) – Either a data file name or a 2d numpy array with the tabular data.
J (str) – Required if this is the first plot command. Select map projection.
R (str or list) – Required if this is the first plot command.
'xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax[+r][+uunit]'
. Specify the region of interest.A (bool or str) –
'[m|p|x|y]'
By default, geographic line segments are drawn as great circle arcs. To draw them as straight lines, use A.B (str or list) – Set map boundary frame and axes attributes.
C (Contour file or level(s)) –
D (Dump contour coordinates) –
E (Network information) –
G (Placement of labels) –
I (Color the triangles using CPT) –
L (Pen to draw the underlying triangulation (default none)) –
N (Do not clip contours) –
Q (Minimum contour length) –
'[p|t]'
S (Skip input points outside region) –
'[p|t]'
W (str) – Set pen attributes for lines or the outline of symbols.
X (Origin shift x) –
Y (Origin shift y) –
