As I understand it, it plots triangles and/or wireframe in the end. Currently I think our plotting mainly works with surfaces. How can you plot a 3D array of arbitrary data points? You need to convert it to some triangles first, e.g. do you want to plot contours (isosurfaces)? Or do you want to cut a plane in your 3D data points and plot that plane? > involved a symbolic function that would be called to generate the > points.
