Temperature Distribution — Free Contour Plot Template
This Temperature Distribution template renders a heat contour map, using filled bands to show how temperature peaks in the center and falls off toward the edges. The sample data traces a smooth bell-shaped profile across positions -3 to 3, climbing from 1 at the cold edges to a peak of 8 at position 0. It is a ready-made starting point for visualizing how heat, intensity, or any value spreads and concentrates across a surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the sample temperature values with my own?
Yes. Click Open in editor and edit the data table directly, swapping the sample readings (-3 through 3) for your own positions and temperature values. The contour map redraws instantly as you type, with no signup required.
How do I save or share the finished contour map?
The editor exports your chart as PNG, SVG, or PDF straight from the browser. PNG suits slides and docs, SVG stays crisp for print and further editing, and PDF works for reports. Everything runs locally and the tool is completely free.
