So see "help contour" and tell us what's wrong with what it (and the 
links therein) teaches you.

That's because contours are, basically, not a 2D plot style.  They use 
3D data, so they're a 3D plot style.

No.  It's actually quite the opposite.  It's so small an order that it's 
absolutely astonishing the manual didn't suffice to get it done.
