[Matplotlib-users] Plotting 2D Structured CFD Grids and contour plots

[Jeff L. <lay...@at...>]

Good afternoon,

I'd like to be able to plot some 2D Structured CFD meshes
and contour plots (pressure, etc) using Matplotlib. I've
googled a little but does anyone have any pointers or
links to help get me started?

Thanks!

Jeff

The functions you want are 'contour' for contour line plots, and 'contourf'
for filled contour plots.  Start with
http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.contour, which
describes the contour function and includes example plots with source code.
