不规则间隔数据的等值线图

非结构化三角形网格的不规则间隔数据在规则网格上插值的等值线图与三元图的比较。

自从 contour 和 contourf 期望数据活在规则网格上，绘制不规则间隔数据的等值线图需要不同的方法。这两个选项是：

这个例子显示了两种方法的作用。

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.tri as tri
import numpy as np

np.random.seed(19680801)
npts = 200
ngridx = 100
ngridy = 200
x = np.random.uniform(-2, 2, npts)
y = np.random.uniform(-2, 2, npts)
z = x * np.exp(-x**2 - y**2)

fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(nrows=2)

# -----------------------
# Interpolation on a grid
# -----------------------
# A contour plot of irregularly spaced data coordinates
# via interpolation on a grid.

# Create grid values first.
xi = np.linspace(-2.1, 2.1, ngridx)
yi = np.linspace(-2.1, 2.1, ngridy)

# Linearly interpolate the data (x, y) on a grid defined by (xi, yi).
triang = tri.Triangulation(x, y)
interpolator = tri.LinearTriInterpolator(triang, z)
Xi, Yi = np.meshgrid(xi, yi)
zi = interpolator(Xi, Yi)

# Note that scipy.interpolate provides means to interpolate data on a grid
# as well. The following would be an alternative to the four lines above:
#from scipy.interpolate import griddata
#zi = griddata((x, y), z, (xi[None, :], yi[:, None]), method='linear')

ax1.contour(xi, yi, zi, levels=14, linewidths=0.5, colors='k')
cntr1 = ax1.contourf(xi, yi, zi, levels=14, cmap="RdBu_r")

fig.colorbar(cntr1, ax=ax1)
ax1.plot(x, y, 'ko', ms=3)
ax1.set(xlim=(-2, 2), ylim=(-2, 2))
ax1.set_title('grid and contour (%d points, %d grid points)' %
              (npts, ngridx * ngridy))

# ----------
# Tricontour
# ----------
# Directly supply the unordered, irregularly spaced coordinates
# to tricontour.

ax2.tricontour(x, y, z, levels=14, linewidths=0.5, colors='k')
cntr2 = ax2.tricontourf(x, y, z, levels=14, cmap="RdBu_r")

fig.colorbar(cntr2, ax=ax2)
ax2.plot(x, y, 'ko', ms=3)
ax2.set(xlim=(-2, 2), ylim=(-2, 2))
ax2.set_title('tricontour (%d points)' % npts)

plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0.5)
plt.show()
