"""
Label a contour plot.
Adds labels to line contours in this `.ContourSet` (which inherits from
this mixin class).
Parameters
----------
levels : array-like, optional
A list of level values, that should be labeled. The list must be
a subset of ``cs.levels``. If not given, all levels are labeled.
fontsize : str or float, default: :rc:`font.size`
Size in points or relative size e.g., 'smaller', 'x-large'.
See `.Text.set_size` for accepted string values.
colors : color or colors or None, default: None
The label colors:
- If *None*, the color of each label matches the color of
the corresponding contour.
- If one string color, e.g., *colors* = 'r' or *colors* =
'red', all labels will be plotted in this color.
- If a tuple of colors (string, float, rgb, etc), different labels
will be plotted in different colors in the order specified.
inline : bool, default: True
If ``True`` the underlying contour is removed where the label is
placed.
inline_spacing : float, default: 5
Space in pixels to leave on each side of label when placing inline.
This spacing will be exact for labels at locations where the
contour is straight, less so for labels on curved contours.
fmt : str or dict, default: '%1.3f'
A format string for the label.
Alternatively, this can be a dictionary matching contour levels
with arbitrary strings to use for each contour level (i.e.,
fmt[level]=string), or it can be any callable, such as a
`.Formatter` instance, that returns a string when called with a
numeric contour level.
manual : bool or iterable, default: False
If ``True``, contour labels will be placed manually using
mouse clicks. Click the first button near a contour to
add a label, click the second button (or potentially both
mouse buttons at once) to finish adding labels. The third
button can be used to remove the last label added, but
only if labels are not inline. Alternatively, the keyboard
can be used to select label locations (enter to end label
placement, delete or backspace act like the third mouse button,
and any other key will select a label location).
*manual* can also be an iterable object of (x, y) tuples.
Contour labels will be created as if mouse is clicked at each
(x, y) position.
rightside_up : bool, default: True
If ``True``, label rotations will always be plus
or minus 90 degrees from level.
use_clabeltext : bool, default: False
If ``True``, `.ClabelText` class (instead of `.Text`) is used to
create labels. `ClabelText` recalculates rotation angles
of texts during the drawing time, therefore this can be used if
aspect of the axes changes.
zorder : float or None, default: ``(2 + contour.get_zorder())``
zorder of the contour labels.
Returns
-------
labels
A list of `.Text` instances for the labels.

The color is based on the midpoint of the layer, except for

the layer color extremes are not the extreme values of
the colormap itself, but approach those values as the number

colors that are consistent with those of the filled regions;

Plot contours.
Call signature::
contour([X, Y,] Z, [levels], **kwargs)
`.contour` and `.contourf` draw contour lines and filled contours,
respectively. Except as noted, function signatures and return values
are the same for both versions.
Parameters
----------
X, Y : array-like, optional
The coordinates of the values in *Z*.
*X* and *Y* must both be 2-D with the same shape as *Z* (e.g.
created via `numpy.meshgrid`), or they must both be 1-D such
that ``len(X) == M`` is the number of columns in *Z* and
``len(Y) == N`` is the number of rows in *Z*.
If not given, they are assumed to be integer indices, i.e.
``X = range(M)``, ``Y = range(N)``.
Z : array-like(N, M)
The height values over which the contour is drawn.
levels : int or array-like, optional
Determines the number and positions of the contour lines / regions.
If an int *n*, use `~matplotlib.ticker.MaxNLocator`, which tries
to automatically choose no more than *n+1* "nice" contour levels
between *vmin* and *vmax*.
If array-like, draw contour lines at the specified levels.
The values must be in increasing order.
Returns
-------
`~.contour.QuadContourSet`
Other Parameters
----------------
corner_mask : bool, default: :rc:`contour.corner_mask`
Enable/disable corner masking, which only has an effect if *Z* is
a masked array. If ``False``, any quad touching a masked point is
masked out. If ``True``, only the triangular corners of quads
nearest those points are always masked out, other triangular
corners comprising three unmasked points are contoured as usual.
colors : color string or sequence of colors, optional
The colors of the levels, i.e. the lines for `.contour` and the
areas for `.contourf`.
The sequence is cycled for the levels in ascending order. If the
sequence is shorter than the number of levels, it's repeated.
As a shortcut, single color strings may be used in place of
one-element lists, i.e. ``'red'`` instead of ``['red']`` to color
all levels with the same color. This shortcut does only work for
color strings, not for other ways of specifying colors.
By default (value *None*), the colormap specified by *cmap*
will be used.
alpha : float, default: 1
The alpha blending value, between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque).
cmap : str or `.Colormap`, default: :rc:`image.cmap`
A `.Colormap` instance or registered colormap name. The colormap
maps the level values to colors.
If both *colors* and *cmap* are given, an error is raised.
norm : `~matplotlib.colors.Normalize`, optional
If a colormap is used, the `.Normalize` instance scales the level
values to the canonical colormap range [0, 1] for mapping to
colors. If not given, the default linear scaling is used.
vmin, vmax : float, optional
If not *None*, either or both of these values will be supplied to
the `.Normalize` instance, overriding the default color scaling
based on *levels*.
origin : {*None*, 'upper', 'lower', 'image'}, default: None
Determines the orientation and exact position of *Z* by specifying
the position of ``Z[0, 0]``. This is only relevant, if *X*, *Y*
are not given.
- *None*: ``Z[0, 0]`` is at X=0, Y=0 in the lower left corner.
- 'lower': ``Z[0, 0]`` is at X=0.5, Y=0.5 in the lower left corner.
- 'upper': ``Z[0, 0]`` is at X=N+0.5, Y=0.5 in the upper left
corner.
- 'image': Use the value from :rc:`image.origin`.
extent : (x0, x1, y0, y1), optional
If *origin* is not *None*, then *extent* is interpreted as in
`.imshow`: it gives the outer pixel boundaries. In this case, the
position of Z[0, 0] is the center of the pixel, not a corner. If
*origin* is *None*, then (*x0*, *y0*) is the position of Z[0, 0],
and (*x1*, *y1*) is the position of Z[-1, -1].
This argument is ignored if *X* and *Y* are specified in the call
to contour.
locator : ticker.Locator subclass, optional
The locator is used to determine the contour levels if they
are not given explicitly via *levels*.
Defaults to `~.ticker.MaxNLocator`.
extend : {'neither', 'both', 'min', 'max'}, default: 'neither'
Determines the ``contourf``-coloring of values that are outside the
*levels* range.
If 'neither', values outside the *levels* range are not colored.
If 'min', 'max' or 'both', color the values below, above or below
and above the *levels* range.
Values below ``min(levels)`` and above ``max(levels)`` are mapped
to the under/over values of the `.Colormap`. Note that most
colormaps do not have dedicated colors for these by default, so
that the over and under values are the edge values of the colormap.
You may want to set these values explicitly using
`.Colormap.set_under` and `.Colormap.set_over`.
.. note::
An existing `.QuadContourSet` does not get notified if
properties of its colormap are changed. Therefore, an explicit
call `.QuadContourSet.changed()` is needed after modifying the
colormap. The explicit call can be left out, if a colorbar is
assigned to the `.QuadContourSet` because it internally calls
`.QuadContourSet.changed()`.
Example::
x = np.arange(1, 10)
y = x.reshape(-1, 1)
h = x * y
cs = plt.contourf(h, levels=[10, 30, 50],
colors=['#808080', '#A0A0A0', '#C0C0C0'], extend='both')
cs.cmap.set_over('red')
cs.cmap.set_under('blue')
cs.changed()
xunits, yunits : registered units, optional
Override axis units by specifying an instance of a
:class:`matplotlib.units.ConversionInterface`.
antialiased : bool, optional
Enable antialiasing, overriding the defaults. For
filled contours, the default is *True*. For line contours,
it is taken from :rc:`lines.antialiased`.
nchunk : int >= 0, optional
If 0, no subdivision of the domain. Specify a positive integer to
divide the domain into subdomains of *nchunk* by *nchunk* quads.
Chunking reduces the maximum length of polygons generated by the
contouring algorithm which reduces the rendering workload passed
on to the backend and also requires slightly less RAM. It can
however introduce rendering artifacts at chunk boundaries depending
on the backend, the *antialiased* flag and value of *alpha*.
linewidths : float or array-like, default: :rc:`contour.linewidth`
*Only applies to* `.contour`.
The line width of the contour lines.
If a number, all levels will be plotted with this linewidth.
If a sequence, the levels in ascending order will be plotted with
the linewidths in the order specified.
If None, this falls back to :rc:`lines.linewidth`.
linestyles : {*None*, 'solid', 'dashed', 'dashdot', 'dotted'}, optional
*Only applies to* `.contour`.
If *linestyles* is *None*, the default is 'solid' unless the lines
are monochrome. In that case, negative contours will take their
linestyle from :rc:`contour.negative_linestyle` setting.
*linestyles* can also be an iterable of the above strings
specifying a set of linestyles to be used. If this
iterable is shorter than the number of contour levels
it will be repeated as necessary.
hatches : List[str], optional
*Only applies to* `.contourf`.
A list of cross hatch patterns to use on the filled areas.
If None, no hatching will be added to the contour.
Hatching is supported in the PostScript, PDF, SVG and Agg
backends only.
Notes
-----
1. `.contourf` differs from the MATLAB version in that it does not draw
the polygon edges. To draw edges, add line contours with calls to
`.contour`.
2. `.contourf` fills intervals that are closed at the top; that is, for
boundaries *z1* and *z2*, the filled region is::
z1 < Z <= z2
except for the lowest interval, which is closed on both sides (i.e.
it includes the lowest value).
