To draw a contour plot of that data, you need to interpolate it onto a regular grid. Here is wiki page about that: http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Gridding_irregularly_spaced_data In there, is says that MPL does not have this functionality built in -- is that still true? If so, I'd like to see the Delaunay stuff included -- in fact, you could contour irregular data directly using Delaunay triangulation. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
