You are providing a 1D array, or possibly a 3D array. So the question you really want to ask is not "How do I do contour plots" but "how do I make a 2D array?" > An example of one of my arrays: > > array([ 2.08800006, 2.29400015, 2.00400019, 1.88000011, 2.0480001 , > 2.16800022, 2.0480001 , 1.88200009, 1.95800006, 2.00200009, > 2.02800012, 1.81200004, 1.95000005, 1.96200013, 1.95200014, > 1.99800014, 2.07000017, 1.88200009, 1.98400009, 2.13400006, > 2.11400008, 1.89400005, 2.05000019, 2.01999998, 2.03400016, > 2.16600013, 2.00999999, 1.86200011, 2.19800019, 2.01200008], > dtype=float32) > > How do I get the above array in to the right format for a contour plot? Here's an example of making a 2D array: py> import numpy py> a = numpy.array([1.2, 2.5, 3.7, 4.8]) # One dimensional array py> a array([ 1.2, 2.5, 3.7, 4.8]) py> b = numpy.array([ [1.2, 2.5, 3.7, 4.8], ... [9.5, 8.1, 7.0, 6.2] ]) # Two dimensional array py> b array([[ 1.2, 2.5, 3.7, 4.8], [ 9.5, 8.1, 7. , 6.2]]) One dimensional arrays are made from a single list of numbers: [...] Two dimensional arrays are made from a list of lists: [ [...], [...] ] -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
