So I have some 3D data that I am able to plot just fine except the edges look jagged.
The relevant code:
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import cm
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
x = np.arange(-1, 1, 0.01)
y = np.arange(-1, 1, 0.01)
x, y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
rho = np.sqrt(x**2 + y**2)
# Attempts at masking shown here
# My Mask
row=0
while row<np.shape(x)[0]:
col=0
while col<np.shape(x)[1]:
if rho[row][col] > 1:
rho[row][col] = None
col=col+1
row=row+1
# Calculate & Plot
z = rho**2
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
surf = ax.plot_surface(x, y, z, rstride=8, cstride=8, cmap=cm.bone, alpha=0.15, linewidth=0.25)
plt.show()
Produces: This is so close to what I want except the edges are jagged.
If I disable my mask in the code above & replace it with rho = np.ma.masked_where(rho > 1, rho)
it gives:
It isn't jagged but not want I want in the corners.
Any suggestions on different masking or plotting methods to get rid of this jaggedness?
