Attributes

Attribute	Summary
name	A name for an object.
field	Contains a list from which you can select the scalar field to be contoured.

Parent	Summary
contour	A contour object is a named graphical entity used to visualize scalar field data such as temperature, pressure, or velocity magnitude across surfaces or volumes. It maps numerical values to color gradients, helping users analyze flow behavior, gradients, and other physical phenomena.
