+ContourPy is a Python library for calculating contours of 2D
+quadrilateral grids. It is written in C++11 and wrapped using pybind11.
+
+It contains the 2005 and 2014 algorithms used in Matplotlib as well as
+a newer algorithm that includes more features and is available in both
+serial and multithreaded versions.
+
+NOTE: This is intended to be installed mainly as a dependency for newer
+ matplotlib versions. Thus, presently just the core functionality
+ is provided, since additional features, i.e. the bokeh renderer,
+ need optional dependencies, which are not yet available through
+ SlackBuilds.org. This might change in the future.
