function plotPointsOverContour(points, contour_fun, x_lim, y_lim, size, plot_title, filename)
% 3D plots a function
% points:       The points to plot
% contur_fun:   The function for contour plot
% x_lim:        The range for x axis. ex: [-2, 2]
% y_lim:        The range for y axis. ex: [0, 2]
% size:         The number of points for each axis
