No, there is no zoomable contour plot. In theory, it is probably no
different from zooming a line plot, although you will have twice as many
things to keep track of. In practice, I don't think it works out all
that well. You can, for example, zoom so far into a contour plot that
nothing would actually appear in the plot. So, you would probably be
forced to make some aesthetic choices that someone who is not paying you
any money for your trouble would disagree with. That's always a bother.

Cheers,
