[Matplotlib-users] updating contours

[Michael Droettboom]

You're correct that there is no equivalent -- contour is one of those
"computed" things that can't be directly updated from the original data.
You don't need to do a whole `cla()` though.  Removing the contour artist
and calling contour again should be sufficient.
