Examples of contour in the following topics:
-
- The contour line is the simplest of the varieties of line.
- Contour means 'outline', and presents exterior edges of objects.
- While contour lines create a path around the edge of a shape, cross contour lines follow paths across a shape to delineate differences in surface features.
- Contour drawing is an artistic technique in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a completed drawing that is essentially an outline .
- An example of a contour drawing by the artist Egon Schiele.
-
- Contour plots portray data for three variables in two dimensions.
- The plot contains a number of contour lines.
- Each contour line is shown in an X-Y plot and has a constant value on a third variable.
- A contour plot showing calories as a function of fat and carbohydrates
- A contour plot showing calories as a function of fat and carbohydrates with areas shaded.

- We can visualize contours of $f$ given by $f(x, y)=d$ for various values of $d$, and the contour of $g$ given by $g (x, y) = c$.
- Suppose we walk along the contour line with $g = c$.
- In general, the contour lines of $f$ and $g$ may be distinct, so following the contour line for $g = c$, one could intersect with or cross the contour lines of $f$.
- When the contour line for $g = c$ meets contour lines of $f$ tangentially we neither increase nor decrease the value of $f$—that is, when the contour lines touch but do not cross.
- The contour lines of $f$ and $g$ touch when the tangent vectors of the contour lines are parallel.
-
- Such a line gives the contour or shape of the melodic line.
- Please see The Shape of a Melody for children's activities covering melodic contour.

- Contour drawing is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an outline (the French word contour, indeed, means "outline").
- The purpose of contour drawing is to emphasize the mass, volume, and outlined shape of the subject rather than the details .
- However, because contour can convey a three-dimensional perspective, length and width as well as thickness and depth are important; not all contours exist along the outlines of a subject.
- Blind contour drawing is a method of drawing where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper.
- The purpose of contour drawing is to emphasize the mass, volume, and outlined shape of the subject rather than the details.
-
- Contour lines define the outer edges of an object.
- Contoured hatching refers to hatching using curved lines in order to describe light and form of contours.
-
- For the "SAT and College GPA" case study data, create a contour plot looking at College GPA as a function of Math SAT and High School GPA.
-
- Lx = 1.5; Ly = 1; c = 1; d[x_,y_,m_,n_]= Sin[m Pi x/Lx]Sin[n Pi y/Ly]; w[n_,m_] = c Sqrt[(m Pi /Lx)^2 + (n Pi/Ly)^2]; Do[Do[ContourPlot[d[x,y,m,n],{x,0,Lx},{y,0,Ly},AspectRatio->Ly/Lx];,{m,2}];,{n,2}];
-
- There are six important varieties of line: actual, implied, straight, expressive, contour, and hatch lines.
- The 'outline' or 'contour line' creates a border or path around the edge of a shape, thereby outlining and defining it.
- 'Cross contour lines' delineate differences in the features of a surface.
-
- taken along some closed contour that moves with the fluid.
- if $\displaystyle {\bf F}/m = -\nabla \phi$, so the circulation around a contour moving with the fluid is constant if the flow is isentropic.
- The circulation around a close contour (bold lines) that travels with the fluid along the streamlines (light lines) is conserved if the fluid is isentropic.
