Re: [Matplotlib-users] How can I visualize a landscape which I have sample heights of?

hi! do a delaunay triangulation http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.14.0/reference/generated/scipy.spatial.Delaunay.html 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 justinorth...@gmail.com schrieb

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'

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.
