Axes3D.plot_trisurf(*args, color=None, norm=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, lightsource=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot a triangulated surface.

The (optional) triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either:

plot_trisurf(triangulation, ...)

where triangulation is a Triangulation object, or:

plot_trisurf(X, Y, ...)
plot_trisurf(X, Y, triangles, ...)
plot_trisurf(X, Y, triangles=triangles, ...)

in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See Triangulation for an explanation of these possibilities.

The remaining arguments are:

plot_trisurf(..., Z)

where Z is the array of values to contour, one per point in the triangulation.

Parameters:

X, Y, Zarray-like: Data values as 1D arrays.
color: Color of the surface patches.
cmap: A colormap for the surface patches.
normNormalize: An instance of Normalize to map values to colors.
vmin, vmaxfloat, default: None: Minimum and maximum value to map.
shadebool, default: True: Whether to shade the facecolors. Shading is always disabled when cmap is specified.
lightsourceLightSource: The lightsource to use when shade is True.
**kwargs: All other keyword arguments are passed on to Poly3DCollection
