About unstructured grid plotting in 3D

Dear Users,
I am currently trying to map a grid of unstructured topography on 3D in python. The data which I am using is in 1d, where another x and y are in 1d. I see that the need for plot_surface is 2d X,Y,Z. I wonder if there is a way I can transform the data to plot for view in topography, or the plot_surface or alternative functions can be used to simply apply the 1d arrays?

PS. Below is the large grid that overlays on the unstructured grid.
yours,
Jinbo

Hello Jinbo,

The online documentation for mplot3d is at
The mplot3d Toolkit — Matplotlib 3.1.0 documentation and includes a
section entitled "Tri-Surface Plots". That would be a good place to start.

Thanks Ian,
I think this is the most appropriate way for me to do it.
