Hi,
I'm looking at a series of images and want to include overplotted
contours. To update the image I just need to use the set_data() method of
the AxesImage object. However, as far as I can tell, there's nothing
similar for the QuadContourSet object. I tried set_array() but that didn't
work. Am I missing something? Does anyone have any suggestions for how to
update the contours? Of course if necessary I could do a cla(), but that
would be slow, I think.
Regards,
Jon

You're correct that there is no equivalent -- contour is one of those
"computed" things that can't be directly updated from the original data.
You don't need to do a whole `cla()` though. Removing the contour artist
and calling contour again should be sufficient.

Hi Mike,
Yes, that's basically what I ended up doing. I did
ax.collections.pop()
ax.contour(...)
I'm not sure if there's a different (better?) way to remove the contours,
but that works.
By the way, it was not easy to discover that contours are collections (a
LineCollection), though I guess it's not too hard to guess. I think the
docs could provide more information along these lines.

If you only need (a lot of) contours on (a lot of) images, vispy or glumpy might be an option (they both use GPU to compute contours).
See for example: http://glumpy.github.io/_static/screenshots/isocurves.png

Please don't do ax.collections.pop(), it is better to keep a reference to
the object returned by contour and then using its remove method.
The second way is safer as you will always remove the artist you think you
are removing and more future proof as the lists of artists (lines,
collections, ...) really should be considered internal details of mpl and
not accessed directly.

Do you think it's worthy of a bug report? It's not clear to me that the
collections of the AxesSubplot should be considered as internal, though I
do think that QuadContourSet objects should have a remove method in the
same way that AxesImage and Line2D objects have.

Yes, please make a bug report.
I agree that it is not clear that collections is internal, but it _should_
be, that is a detail of how mpl stores the artists that need to be rendered
at draw time.
Because we store lines and collections in separate lists that get merged
and sorted based on z-order during the draw process we can get some
pathological rendering errors where errorbars have inconsistent layering.
In the near-ish (year?) there is likely to be a major refactoring to how
artists are stored internally to merge them into a single data structure.
We will provide back-compatible shims, but those will go away eventually so
the less code reaching in and touching them the better.
