if the point data has a shape can the contours be made to stay inside the shape?

For instance I have point data for Japan northern island. I would like the contours to remain inside the point data (i.e. only connect points that are some distance apart or smaller). Is there a way to do this in the code?

Hi @karapuzo. The plugin doesn't do this at the moment. If you have the outline of the area as a polygon you could trim the contours to that polygon after they have been calculated. Or you could build a polygon by buffering the data points and then using that. An alternative to trimming I have used for visualisation is to put the polygon layer on top of the contour layer and use the "inverted polygon" renderer to mask out the contours outside the polygon.
