Summary

Line and scatter plots, which we described in Chapters 4 and 5, are the bread and butter of scientific visualization. There are, however, many other kinds of graphs used to display and analyze scientific and engineering information. In this chapter, we examine two such kinds of visualization: contour plots and animations of two-dimensional plots and images. Contour plots are a common way of presenting data whose values change based on the location in two-dimensional space.
