Also, is it possible to change the stride color/opacity? Not for this plot in particular, but for surface plots, I’d rather not have dense black strides on my surface. Can’t find the right keyword call through the 3d API. Sorry if I’m overlooking something obvious in the docs

Hi,
I was using wireframe to plot my spectroscopy data, and noticed if I choose a large R-stride, I somewhat unexpectedly get this really helpful evenly spaced spectral plot (attached).
The only issue is that there’s still the cstride connecting some of the peaks. I’d like to get rid of this, but it seems that at least one cstride is necessary. Anyone have any hacking ideas on how to get rid of this?
I think you can just set the linewidth to zero like in these examples:

Thanks benjamin. Not sure how I overlooked this!
You wouldn’t happen to know how to remove the cstrides while keeping the rstrides in tact? By strides, I guess I don’t mean strides per-se, but the contour lines themselves that run over the surface.

Sorry, that isn’t possible in the current design. Instead, I would suggest making a line plot on top of surface mimicking this. Although, depending on the shape of the surface, this may not work out well as mplot3d may not properly compose such a scene of mixed objects.
Also, as a side note, be careful saving figures with zero linewidths as certain vector backends (e.g., pdf, ps) don’t properly respect such linewidths. I think most of such bugs were fixed for v1.4.0, but there were a few additional bugs that are going into the upcoming v1.4.1 release.
Cheers!

I guess I could change my API a bit to allow for data that would better fit ax.plot3d. I suppose plot3d is really what I’m trying to make, where I’d just pass 5 evenly spaced curves from my dataset.
If you think of a hacky solution even, can you shoot me a message?
Thanks for your help and the heads up about the graphics bugs.
