zorder.
It won't really matter what order you plot, as long as you set the
zorder of the objects to the order you want. However, there is no
set_zorder for the whole contour, rather just for each element in the
collection. Observe:
pc = contour(random.rand(10,10))
pcf = contourf(random.rand(10,10), cmap=cm.gray)
# now the contours are on top
for l in pc.collections:
l.set_zorder(-100)
draw()
# now the contours are on the bottom
I guess the advantage is that you could pick and choose which
contours to expose:
for l in pcf.collections[::2]:
l.set_zorder(-1000)
draw()
# woven contours and contourfs...
