Hi Jon, one thing you can do is to get the (x, y)-values of the calculated contourlines:
cs = plt.contour(z, levels=[0]) a = cs.collections[0].get_paths()[0].vertices # -> array of shape (..., 2) hold x and y in first and second column I don't know wheter this is the best way, but at least for me it works.
