def contour(self, data=None, x=None, y=None, z=None, **kwargs):
r"""
Contour table data by direct triangulation.
Takes a matrix, (x,y,z) pairs, or a file name as input and plots lines,
polygons, or symbols at those locations on a map.
Must provide either ``data`` or ``x``/``y``/``z``.
Full option list at :gmt-docs:`contour.html`
{aliases}
Parameters
----------
data : str or {table-like}
Pass in (x, y, z) or (longitude, latitude, elevation) values by
providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D
{table-classes}
x/y/z : 1d arrays
Arrays of x and y coordinates and values z of the data points.
{J}
{R}
annotation : str or int
Specify or disable annotated contour levels, modifies annotated
contours specified in ``interval``.
- Specify a fixed annotation interval *annot_int* or a
single annotation level +\ *annot_int*.
{B}
levels : str or int
Specify the contour lines to generate.
- The filename of a CPT file where the color boundaries will
be used as contour levels.
- The filename of a 2 (or 3) column file containing the contour
levels (col 1), (**C**)ontour or (**A**)nnotate (col 2), and optional
angle (col 3)
- A fixed contour interval *cont_int* or a single contour with
+\ *cont_int*
D : str
Dump contour coordinates.
E : str
Network information.
label_placement : str
[**d**\|\ **f**\|\ **n**\|\ **l**\|\ **L**\|\ **x**\|\ **X**]\ *args*.
Control the placement of labels along the quoted lines. It supports
five controlling algorithms. See :gmt-docs:`contour.html#g` for
details.
I : bool
Color the triangles using CPT.
triangular_mesh_pen : str
Pen to draw the underlying triangulation [Default is none].
no_clip : bool
Do NOT clip contours or image at the boundaries [Default will clip
to fit inside region].
Q : float or str
[*cut*][**+z**].
Do not draw contours with less than cut number of points.
skip : bool or str
[**p**\|\ **t**].
Skip input points outside region.
{W}
label : str
Add a legend entry for the contour being plotted. Normally, the
annotated contour is selected for the legend. You can select the
regular contour instead, or both of them, by considering the label
to be of the format [*annotcontlabel*][/*contlabel*]. If either
label contains a slash (/) character then use ``|`` as the
separator for the two labels instead.
