[Matplotlib-users] Interpolation method of python matplotlib contourf

[Athanasios Karagiannidis]

Hello Ian

Another interpolation may come handy in the future. Is it possible to control the interpolation method?

The fact that the current interpolation method is not documented is a pity. I need to reference it in a manuscript...

Hello Sakis,

All of Matplotlib's contouring functions (contour, contourf, tricontour, tricontourf) use linear interpolation along grid edges.  This is not explicitly documented anywhere.

Are there other interpolation options that you would like?  I can think of logarithmic as one possibility.

Hello to all

I want to ask what is the default interpolation method of python matplotlib contourf? Where can I find relative documentation? Could someone help me?

Best regards
