Hi Everyone, Looks like I may have run into a bug for the contourf function. I was able to reproduce the problem on two OS X systems. One was based on 10.5 and the other was on 10.4. The problem appears when you use contourf with alpha < 1. With the transparency there appears to be streaks of lines pointing downward from the contour lines. Is this a bug that has been spotted before? Additional information is provided below with a python script to reproduce the problem.
Note, this bug was reproduced with a range of different parameters and input values. The script is the easiest way to reproduce the problem.
