Thanks for this. The tripcolor function does what you want in 2D, but it
hasn't yet been extended to work with 3D axes. It was on my 'to do' list,
and you've motivated me to start looking at it. When it's done, your
example code can be much simpler as the triangulation and colormap
manipulation will all be done for you.
