Re: [Matplotlib-users] Wireframe with no cstrides?

[Benjamin R. <ben...@ou...>]

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!
