I'm wondering if we could make this easier by modifying contour/contourf so
that the ContourSet object created had a paths object attribute. It
doesn't seem like it'd be that hard. Maybe some would object that it would
slow down the creation of contour plots?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"Hello,
I have data on a 2d lat lon grid(equal grid spacing) in terms of
laitude and longitude and heights as enclosed in the image. I need the
coordinates(in terms of latitude and longitude) of the contours( as shown
in red in the image). From this answer -
python - Find contour lines from matplotlib.pyplot.contour() - Stack Overflow
find-contour-lines-from-matplotlib-pyplot-contour/
will this give me what I am looking for or is there a scaling required to
latitude and longitude that I need to include?Best regards,
Ashwin.import numpy as np
def get_contour_verts(cn):
contours =
# for each contour line
for cc in cn.collections:
paths =
# for each separate section of the contour line
for pp in cc.get_paths():
xy =
# for each segment of that section
for vv in pp.iter_segments():
xy.append(vv[0])
paths.append(np.vstack(xy))
contours.append(paths)return contours

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"If you passed the coordinate arrays in with the call to contourf(), then
you will get what you expect.I should note that you should watch out for path simplification (you'll
want to turn it off). I also recommend using contourf() over contour()
because it handles the edges of the domain better and NaNs.Cheers!
