I'm fairly new to python programming. The data I'm working with is generated by filtering process via a third party software, such that there are three arrays, x, y and z that don't need to be arranged in a 2d grid and its contour plot can be derived using tricontourf(x,y,z)
or tricontour(z,y,z)
function from matplotlib library.
However, the contour plot appears as shown below . For some perspective, here is the last 50 rows of the data in three arrays (x, y and z):
33.000000 -6.000000 -0.5318
34.000000 -6.000000 -0.851
35.000000 -6.000000 -1.2272
36.000000 -6.000000 -1.5542

32.000000 -9.000000 -1.1902
33.000000 -9.000000 -1.0836
30.000000 -10.000000 -1.8646
The data is stored in such a way that it triangularly projects downwards in the 2d frame. I'd like to know how to extrapolate the contours to completely fill the rectangular frame as shown below .
It is derived via surfer software using the same data set. Any help shall be highly appreciated. Preferably, kriging interpolation may be adopted.
