Joe, Thank you! I will especially use it to get the z value in images. I started to try to do something like this once but never finished.
One thing I'm having a bit of trouble with is providing an artist as an argument. The reason I wanted to do that is to look only at the values for the image and not those for the contours drawn on the image. How does that work exactly? As a side note, I thought that I had found a bug because an I was looking at image would, in some places, print only the x and y values but not the z value. Then I realized it was printing the values for a contour that I had made invisible by setting its edgecolor to 'None'. This was because the contour created had two parts and I only wanted to show one of them. Anyone know a different way to do that?
