Re: [Matplotlib-users] multiple overlaid contour plots

[Francesco M. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Lado,

You should be able to do it simply by calling countourf multiple times
changing the alpha value (or setting it to something like 0.5)

    plt.contourf(..., alpha=0.8, ...)
    plt.contourf(..., alpha=0.6, ...)
    plt.contourf(..., alpha=0.4, ...)

The problem comes when you want to save the figure as eps: it does not
support transparency, so the alpha level is ignored and all colors are
solid.

Cheers,

Francesco
