layering contourf over image?

Is it possible to layer a translucent contourf over an image?

I tried the obvious, but it didn't seem to work:

im = imshow(Z, interpolation='nearest', extent=extent, cmap=cm.bone)
v = axis()
cset = contourf(Z2, levels, hold='on', cmap=cm.jet, extent=extent, alpha=0.6)

Cheers,

Dave,

You are right, that should work, but it doesn't--support for the alpha kwarg just isn't there. I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing it out.
