I use scipy.interpolate.griddata to interpolate my data for contour plot. The data have different scale on x and y axes:

contour(grid_points[0], grid_points[1], vi)
But I got ugly sharped contours:
However, if I scale for example the y axis, like this yy = [v/50. for v in yy], I got the smoothed plot:
How to get the smoothed contours with original axes scales?
