# series.contour.data

An array of data points for the series. For the `contour` series type, points can be given in the following ways:

1. An array of arrays with 3 or 2 values. In this case, the values correspond to `x,y,value`. If the first value is a string, it is applied as the name of the point, and the `x` value is inferred. Unlike the heatmap, the contour series data points, do not have to appear in any specific order.

       data: [
           [0, 9, 7],
           [1, 10, 4],
           [2, 6, 3]
       ]

2. An array of objects with named values. The following snippet shows only a few settings, see the complete options set below. If the total number of data points exceeds the series' turboThreshold, this option is not available.

       data: [{
           x: 1,
           y: 3,
           value: 10,
           name: "Point2"
       }, {
           x: 1,
           y: 7,
           value: 10,
           name: "Point1"
       }]
