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 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
.
• See
Section 2.10.1
and
Section 2.10.7
.
• See also:
ListContourPlot
,
DensityGraphics
.
• New in Version 1.
