Dear list,
Is it possible to specify to contourf an alpha value which is not a pure number but lets say an array?
I would like to change the value of alpha according to the contourf values and to get in this way a fading effect on the vallies.
What about imshow?
Thank you v much,
I really enjoy the conversations in this list, and of course matplotlib.
Best Regards,

For contourf, one approach is to use the returned ContourSet.
cs = contourf(rand(10,10))
cs.collections[0].set_alpha(0.1)
draw()
So, you can cycle through the collections, setting the alpha for each to whatever you like.

You would need to set the alpha values in the _lut attribute of the colormap. Unfortunately, this is an area of alpha-handling that is still a mess. I'm not sure whether it works for some colormap types, but at least for ListedColormap, it doesn't. The alpha values of the input colors are ignored. I've been wanting to overhaul this, but obviously haven't gotten to it.
