Petr: I don't think contour directly supports polar axes, but if your data are in polar coordinates you can easily make a contour plot with cartesian axes, like this: from pylab import * deltatheta = 2.*pi/100. theta = arange(0.,2.*pi,deltatheta) R = arange(0.,pi,deltatheta) r,t = meshgrid(R, theta) Z = sin(r)*sin(3.*t) X = r*cos(t) Y = r*sin(t) cs = contourf(X,Y,Z) show() -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
