Hey guys, I think I found the answer to my question: No, it is not possible to have a contour along the grid of a pcolor plot out of the box, because the contour would take the shortest path between neighbouring same-value-points in a dataset. Pcolor merely changes the representation of these data.
What I would probably need is using the pcolor plot as an underlying dataset for a contour plot. If that works I don't know. To give some background: The data in the attached pdf are not be interpolated because this would give the fake impression of a continuous parameter space. This is why I don't want any diagonal lines cutting through the little boxes in the pcolor plot. So, if there was a workaround, I would be happy if somebody could point me to it!
