Python - Contour plot

Contour plots also called level plots are a way to show a three-dimensional surface on a two-dimensional plane. It graphs two predictor variables X and Y on the y-axis and a response variable Z as contours. These contours are sometimes called z-slices or iso-response values.

 

Contour plots are widely used to visualize the density, altitudes, or heights of the mountain as well as in the meteorological department. Due to such wide usage matplotlib.pyplot provides a method contour to make it easy to draw contour plots.
