Make an array of (x, y) pairs from the X and Y you use in your call to 
contour, and then feed that array to the contains_points() method of 
your contour Path.  This will give you the desired Boolean array for any 
given Path; depending on what you want, you might need to combine arrays 
for more than one Path.

To get closed paths, I think you will want to use contourf, not contour.
