body: <p>How to obtain the following surface via Matplotlib?</p>
  
  <p>It is easy in matlab via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mesh(peaks)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems matplotlib does not have an exact counterpart of <code>mesh</code> in matlab.
  the <code>Wireframe plots</code> does not have any <code>colormap</code> option</p>
