You don't need to make your own X, Y, so delete the following 3 lines.

Now you have X, Y, and Z, each as a column in your file, so you need to
split them apart and reshape them. Let's assume M, N are the number of
X and Y values in your grid; to avoid name confusion, change the load to
XYZ = load('zdata.dat')
X = XYZ[:,0]
X.shape = (M,N)
Y = XYZ[:,1]
Y.shape = (M,N)
Z = XYZ[:,2]
Z.shape = (M,N)
CS = contour(X.transpose(), Y.transpose(), Z.transpose())
The reason for all the transposing is that pcolor and contour display
images with column number increasing with X, and row number increasing
with Y. Since you have M X-values and N Y-values, everything has to end
up N by M, not the reverse.
