ContourLayer objects are created by using XYChart.addContourLayer.
The data for the ContourLayer are the z values at some points in the xy plane. Both gridded and scattered data points are supported.
Using the data, the ContourLayer computes the z values of all pixels in the xy plane. The computation can be based on spline or bilinear/linear surface interpolation, configurable using ContourLayer.setSmoothInterpolation.
The ContourLayer then colors the pixels based on the z values, and draws contour lines to join positions with the same z values. The color mapping and contour levels are controlled by the ColorAxis object of the ContourLayer, obtainable using ContourLayer.colorAxis.
