The mplot3d tutorial page, which is the first result when you google 'mplot3d', includes a section on 'Tri-surface plots' and is precisely what you are looking for. You certainly do not need to use scipy. Matplotlib includes its own Delaunay triangulator, as specified in the 'triangular grids' do

hi! do a delaunay triangulation on them. also try to do the triangulation only on the xy coordinates and see which of both gives the results you like more. best, p justonium schrieb am Do., 25. Juni 2015 u

I have a set of three dimensional coordinates, each of which is on a landscape. I would like to visualize the entire landscape. I've already tried plotting the points in 3D space using Axes3D.scatter, but I just see a bunch of points, and it's hard to visually understand what's going on. Ideally,
