Matplotlib plotting tutorials 037 contour fill plot and tweaks

matplotlib is a popular python library used for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in python. in this tutorial, we will focus on creating a contour fill plot using matplotlib. contour fill plots are useful for visualizing 3d surfaces in a 2d plot.

### setting up matplotlib
before we start creating contour fill plots, make sure you have matplotlib installed. you can install it using pip:

### creating a contour fill plot
to create a contour fill plot in matplotlib, we will use the `contourf` function. this function takes the x-coordinates, y-coordinates, and the z-values to plot the contour fill plot. here's an example code snippet to create a simple contour fill plot:

in the code snippet above:
- we first generate the data for the contour fill plot using numpy.
- we then use the `contourf` function to create the contour fill plot with a colormap specified as `'coolwarm'`.

### plot tweaks
you can further customize the contour fill plot by tweaking various parameters such as the colormap, levels, labels, and more. here are some common tweaks you can apply to the contour fill plot:

- **changing colormap**: you can choose different colormaps by changing the `cmap` parameter in the `contourf` function.
- **adding levels**: you can specify the number of contour levels using the `levels` parameter in the `contourf` function.

by applying these tweaks, you can create visually appealing and informative contour fill plots using matplotlib.
