I think surface plot does not draw any gridlines by default (linewidth set to 0). Maybe you're referring the artifacts between each surface elements, as can be seen in the example below http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/mplot3d/surface3d_demo.html My guess is that they are artifacts of antialiasing that edges gets somewhat transparent. So, you may turn off antialiasing, but plot gets a bit ugly. Or you may actually strokes the edges with their face colors. See the example plot attached. The second example is created with high resolution grid to demonstrate smooth color variation (this is extremely slow to render though). It may be better if mplot3d has option for this, but I'll leave it to Reinier, the original author of mplot3d. Micheal, If my understanding is correct, we will see this artifacts even with the Gouraud shading. What do you think? Regards, -JJ ps.
