Hi all,
when drawing contourf plots, I inspected the underlying
matplotlib.path.Path elements that determine the curves and noticed
that they are all of code LINETO (see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/path_api.html#matplotlib.path.Path)
although the number of vertices is 6, actually suggesting a CURVE4.
Would that be a bug?
Cheers,
Nico

I don't see it.
x = np.arange(9)
x.shape = (3,3)
cs = contourf(x, 1)
print cs.collections.get_paths()
This shows a set of vertices with a matching set of LINETO (after an initial MOVETO). contour and contourf generate piece-wise linear paths with vertices on grid cell boundaries; they make no attempt to smooth out the contours.

You're right. -- I've looked at it again and I can confirm that the
outlines are drawn with LINETOs.

I looked at the example in
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/contourf_log.html
and used the point information in the LINETOs to reproduce the figure.
It seems that, except for the blue patches in the corners, this
information is really rough. Take a peek at the file I attached; left:
matplotlib rendering, right: lines manually redrawn.
Do you know what's going on?
