Hi Ben,
I'm using mpl 0.99 on Ubuntu 10.10, and whether I use contour or contourf I
get a plot that is laying in the X-Y plane with contour loops extending into
the +z direction. The contour plot itself looks right (if I could get it to
be 2D instead of 3D), it's just its orientation and non-planarity that pose
problems.
Cheers,
Katie
