Example 1

Use the contour_chart function to create a filled contour plot.

# Data
X, Y = np.meshgrid(np.linspace(-5, 10, 100),
                   np.linspace(-5, 10, 100))
Z = np.sqrt(X ** 2 + Y ** 2)

setup = {
    'NAME': 'CONTOUR',         
    'DPI': 600, 
    'EXTENSION': 'svg',
    'TITLE': 'Color bar title',
    'LEVELS': 25
}
dataset = {
    'X': X,
    'Y': Y,
    'Z': Z
}
contour_chart(DATASET=dataset, PLOT_SETUP=setup)
