contourf

mipylib.plotlib.miplot.contourf(*args, **kwargs)

Plot filled contours.

Parameters
  • x – (array_like) Optional. X coordinate array.

  • y – (array_like) Optional. Y coordinate array.

  • z – (array_like) 2-D z value array.

  • levs – (array_like) Optional. A list of floating point numbers indicating the level curves to draw, in increasing order.

  • cmap – (string) Color map string.

  • colors – (list) If None (default), the colormap specified by cmap will be used. If a string, like ‘r’ or ‘red’, all levels will be plotted in this color. If a tuple of matplotlib color args (string, float, rgb, etc), different levels will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.

Returns

(VectoryLayer) Contour filled VectoryLayer created from array data.

Example:

f = addfile('D:/Temp/nc/cone.nc')
u = f['u'][4,:,:]
subplot(2,1,1)
layer = contour(u)
clabel(layer)
title('Cone amplitude')
colorbar(layer)

subplot(2,1,2)
u = f['u'][5,:,:]
layer = contourf(u)
title('Cone amplitude')
colorbar(layer)
