### `plmesh`: Plot surface mesh

`plmesh` (x, y, z, nx, ny, opt);

Plots a surface mesh within the environment set up by `plw3d`. The surface is defined by the two-dimensional array ``z`[`nx`][`ny`]`, the point ``z`[i][j]` being the value of the function at `(`x`[i], `y`[j])`. Note that the points in arrays ``x`` and ``y`` do not need to be equally spaced, but must be stored in ascending order. The parameter ``opt`` controls the way in which the surface is displayed. For further details see the Section called Three Dimensional Surface Plots in Chapter 3.

`x` (`PLFLT *`, input) Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. `y` (`PLFLT *`, input) Pointer to set of y coordinate values at which the function is evaluated. `z` (`PLFLT **`, input) Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function values. `nx` (`PLINT`, input) Number of ``x`` values at which function is evaluated. `ny` (`PLINT`, input) Number of ``y`` values at which function is evaluated. `opt` (`PLINT`, input) Determines the way in which the surface is represented: ``opt`=DRAW_LINEX`: Lines are drawn showing ``z`` as a function of ``x`` for each value of ``y`[j]`. ``opt`=DRAW_LINEY`: Lines are drawn showing ``z`` as a function of ``y`` for each value of ``x`[i]`. ``opt`=DRAW_LINEXY`: Network of lines is drawn connecting points at which function is defined.

Redacted form: `plmesh(x, y, z, opt)`

This function is used in example 11.
