Hi,
suppose you need the lines from fun[]
fun[x_, y_] := Cos[Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]]
gr = Graphics[
ContourPlot[fun[x, y], {x, -2Pi, 2Pi}, {y, -2Pi, 2Pi},
Contours -> {-1/2, 1/2}, PlotPoints -> 30, DisplayFunction ->
Identity]]
one generates the contour graphics and convert it to an ordinary
Graphics[] with lines now you wish to select all lines, that include
points {x,y} with Abs[f[x,y]-level]< eps
level = 1/2;
dta = Select[Cases[gr, _Line, Infinity],
And @@ ( # < 0.05 & /@ (Abs[fun @@ # - level] & /@ First[#] ))
&];
Show[Graphics[dta, AspectRatio -> 1]];
eps (here 0.05) should be not too small because ContourPlot[] is not
very accurate ..
Regards
Jens
