70 <strong>Visualization</strong> and <strong>Graphics</strong><br />

A contour plot gives you essentially a “topographic map” of a function. The contours join points<br />

on the surface that have the same height. The default is to have contours corresponding to a<br />

sequence of equally spaced z values. Contour plots produced by <strong>Mathematica</strong> are by default<br />

shaded, in such a way that regions with higher z values are lighter.<br />

Contours Automatic the total number of contours, or the list of<br />

z values for contours<br />

PlotRange 9Full,Full,Automatic= the range of values to be included; you can<br />

specify 8z min , z max
