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

[justonium <jus...@gm...>]

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, I would like to view a wireframe plot. In order for this to be
drawn, height values will need to be interpolated from the samples that I
have, which don't line up with a grid.

Another solution might be:

For each point, draw a vertical line from it, straight down, to a point
below it which has the same x and y coordinates, with 0 as the z coordinate.
This might still be difficult to visually understand.
