ContourGraphics

Usage

• ContourGraphics[array] is a representation of a contour plot.

Notes

• array must be a rectangular array of real numbers, representing

values.

• The following options can be given:

AspectRatio	1	ratio of height to width
Axes	False	whether to draw axes
AxesLabel	None	axes labels
AxesOrigin	Automatic	where axes should cross
AxesStyle	Automatic	graphics directives to specify the style for axes
Background	Automatic	background color for the plot
ColorFunction	Automatic	function specifying the color of regions between contour lines
ColorFunctionScaling	True	whether to scale values before applying a color function
ColorOutput	Automatic	type of color output to produce
ContourLines	True	whether to draw explicit contour lines
Contours	10	what contours to use
ContourShading	True	whether to shade the regions between contours
ContourStyle	Automatic	the style for contour lines
DefaultColor	Automatic	the default color for plot elements
DisplayFunction	$DisplayFunction	function for generating output
Epilog	{}	graphics primitives to be rendered after the main plot

FormatType	$FormatType	the default format type for text
Frame	True	whether to put a frame around the plot
FrameLabel	None	frame labels
FrameStyle	Automatic	graphics directives giving the style for the frame
FrameTicks	Automatic	frame tick marks
ImageSize	Automatic	the absolute size at which to render the graphic in a notebook
MeshRange	Automatic	ranges of and coordinates
PlotLabel	None	a label for the plot
PlotRange	Automatic	range of values to include
PlotRegion	Automatic	the final display region to be filled
Prolog	{}	graphics primitives to be rendered before the main plot
RotateLabel	True	whether to rotate labels on the frame
TextStyle	$TextStyle	the default style for text
Ticks	Automatic	tick marks

• ContourGraphics[g] converts DensityGraphics and SurfaceGraphics objects to ContourGraphics. The resulting graphics can be rendered using Show.

• Graphics[ContourGraphics[ ... ]] generates a representation in terms of an ordinary Graphics object.

• ContourGraphics is generated by ContourPlot and ListContourPlot.
