.get_paths() returns a list of Path objects. (See path.py). For each Path object, you can get an Nx2 array of vertices from its "vertices" member. You can also use the "iter_segments" method to iterate through each of its vertices, but that's primarily only useful when there may be bezier curves in the path, which there won't be in the case of contours.
Missing docstrings is definitely a problem that will need to be worked on. Cheers, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > > I'm using a svn version of matplotlib and the API changed for contour.
