triplot

Draw the triangulation mesh itself — the edges (and optionally nodes) connecting a set of scattered points. Useful for inspecting how tri* methods triangulate your data.

Matplotlib: Axes.triplot.

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

Coordinates

Key Required Meaning
x yes¹ Point x
y yes¹ Point y

¹ On a ternary axis use left / right / bottom instead of x / y.

Style

Key Type Purpose
color color Edge (and marker) color
linewidth / lw float Edge width
linestyle string Edge style
marker string Node marker (omit for edges only)
alpha 0–1 Opacity
zorder number Draw order

Any other Axes.triplot keyword is also accepted.
