tripcolor_axes

The same as tripcolor, but the triangulation is always performed in axes-fraction space. Use it when you want to guarantee axes-space geometry regardless of other settings.

Matplotlib: Axes.tripcolor (triangulated in axes coordinates).

Axes: rectangular (ax) and ternary (axtri).

Coordinates

Same as tripcolor: x, y, z (or left/right/bottom on a ternary axis).

Style

Same as tripcolor — cmap, vmin, vmax, shading, alpha, zorder. The space key is not needed (axes space is forced).

When to use it

Plain tripcolor already defaults to axes-space triangulation. Reach for tripcolor_axes only when you want that behavior pinned explicitly (for example, to be robust against a space: data default coming from a style card).
