ContourPlot examples

This module is a graphical index to the HLU and NCL NCAR Graphics examples that generate contour plots. Click on one of the example graphics below to link to information about how to create the graphic and how to access the code and data that were used to generate the plot.

  • cn02: Basic features of a ContourPlot object.
  • cn03: Overlaying a ContourPlot on a LogLinPlot.
  • cn04: Multiple contour plots on a single frame.
  • cn05: Creating a map and contour overlay animation.
