            Resolution of the saved file in dots per inch.
        filename : str, optional
            The file name for the generated image file. If no value is given,
            the `name` parameter of the :class:`StiffPanelBay` object
            will be used.
        ax : AxesSubplot, optional
            When ``ax`` is given, the contour plot will be created inside it.
        figsize : tuple, optional
            The figure size given by ``(width, height)``.
        title : str, optional
            If any string is given it is added as title to the contour plot.
        colorbar : bool, optional
            If a colorbar should be added to the contour plot.
        cbar_nticks : int, optional
            Number of ticks added to the colorbar.

            Fontsize of the colorbar labels.
        cbar_title : str, optional
            Colorbar title. If ``cbar_title == ''`` no title is added.
        aspect : str, optional
            String that will be passed to the ``AxesSubplot.set_aspect()``
            method.
        clean : bool, optional
            Clean axes ticks, grids, spines etc.
        xs : np.ndarray, optional
            The `x` positions where to calculate the displacement field.
            Default is ``None`` and the method ``_default_field`` is used.
        ys : np.ndarray, optional
            The ``y`` positions where to calculate the displacement field.
            Default is ``None`` and the method ``_default_field`` is used.

            Number of points along the `x` axis where to calculate the
            displacement field.
        gridy : int, optional
            Number of points along the `y` where to calculate the
            displacement field.
        num_levels : int, optional
            Number of contour levels (higher values make the contour smoother).
        vecmin : float, optional
            Minimum value for the contour scale (useful to compare with other
            results). If not specified it will be taken from the calculated
            field.
        vecmax : float, optional
            Maximum value for the contour scale.
        silent : bool, optional
            A boolean to tell whether the msg messages should be printed.
