Coordinates of a contour

Coordinates of a contour

Not sure this is the right place for this question but...Is there a straightforward way to extract the coordinates of a specific contour on a plot? In the attached example, I would like to get the coordinates of the zero contour. I realize that I can do this using the root function but this has difficulty converging near the vertical tangent of the contour. The contouring algorithm evidently does not have this problem.

Let your contour caculator find the contour:

THat was easy! Thanks. Glad I asked.

Thanks again, but I am curious why this works more robustly than using the root function.

See too a f(x, y)=0 plot:
