[Matplotlib-users] Interpolation method of python matplotlib contourf

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.
