Got it. Yes, sounds like you want a "3D" scatter plot. v (at some "height) over the surface of x,y points. There is a contour in matplotlib, but I don't think it will do what you want. I will go back and look over matplotlib. You might want to go to the matplotlib web site and download the examples. There are tons of them. Maybe one is right for you. -- Cheers, Lou Pecora Code 6362 Naval Research Lab Washington, DC 20375 USA Ph: +202-767-6002 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
