tripcolor(*args, alpha=1.0, norm=None, cmap=None, vmin=None, vmax=None, shading='flat', facecolors=None, **kwargs)
The triangulation can be specified in one of two ways; either:
tripcolor(triangulation, ...)
where triangulation is a :None:None:`.Triangulation` object, or
tripcolor(x, y, ...) tripcolor(x, y, triangles, ...) tripcolor(x, y, triangles=triangles, ...) tripcolor(x, y, mask=mask, ...) tripcolor(x, y, triangles, mask=mask, ...)
in which case a Triangulation object will be created. See :None:None:`.Triangulation` for a explanation of these possibilities.
The next argument must be C, the array of color values, either one per point in the triangulation if color values are defined at points, or one per triangle in the triangulation if color values are defined at triangles. If there are the same number of points and triangles in the triangulation it is assumed that color values are defined at points; to force the use of color values at triangles use the kwarg facecolors=C
instead of just C
.
shading may be 'flat' (the default) or 'gouraud'. If shading is 'flat' and C values are defined at points, the color values used for each triangle are from the mean C of the triangle's three points. If shading is 'gouraud' then color values must be defined at points.
The remaining kwargs are the same as for ~.Axes.pcolor
.
Create a pseudocolor plot of an unstructured triangular grid.

matplotlib.pyplot.plotting
Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.
Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)
SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.
All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
