Did you do "Plugins>Fetch Python Plugins>Repositories>add 3rd party repositories"? Did it add the "QGIS contributed" repository? You will also need to have the latest matplotlib package from OSGeo4W. I'm not sure if it is installed with QGIS. > Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2012 06:48:59 +0800 > From: Ramon Andi?ach <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] how to contour delimited text files > To: qgis-user <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 > > [erk, not awake yet.

For a time the plugin required a recent version of matplotlib which on Windows is only available for Python 2.7, but QGIS was still using Python 2.5. But now that QGIS is available on Windows with Python 2.7 and the recent matplotlib, the contour plugin works fine. I don't understand why people say the contour plugin is deprecated - it works well and is a lot more convenient than using two GDALtools. Is it that the performance is a lot better with large datasets or something?
