When calling:
ax.contour(image, np.arange(0, 255, 8), colors='red', linewidths=0.1)
I get:
Increasing the line width 10x from 0.1 to 10, I get:
which is not 10x thicker [in pixels]. What are the units used for linewidths parameter? Is it described somewhere in the documentation?
Comments in this page:
https://matplotlib.org/stable/tutorials/introductory/customizing.html?highlight=lines.linewidth#a-sample-matplotlibrc-file
suggest that it is in points (not pixels, the printer’s measure, 1/72
inch IIRC).

It looks as if there’s a bit of a typo in your question:
Increasing the line width 10x from 0.1 to 10, I get:
Which is not a 10x difference. (@cameron’s answer is correct).
Yes, of course. I meant “from 0.1 to 1”. I don’t see question edit option. Perhaps it disappears after the first answer is posted.
Maybe. Or simply after a period of time. Certainly (as an email user) I
prefer to see corrections bigger than fixing spelling appear as a
distinct post.
