Contour plots are a common visualization technique for summarizing the shape of a dense collection of data. The JMP Graph Builder contour element now has six different types of supported contours, including triangulations for 2D value contours, three types of 2D density contours and two types of 1D density contours. This talk will go in depth on each of the contour visualization techniques and their strengths and weaknesses, including the various options that are supported for the different types, including smoothing parameters, outliers and alpha-shapes for non-convex domains.
