I'm guessing the type-setters would object to always using typewriter
(or other special) font for matplotlib, as it would quickly get tiring
on the eye.

Ah, since it is a proper name it should be capitalised, but it never was.
I think that it should remain uncapitalised and that you want to propose an
alternative, like a change in type for the proper name matplotlib. Could be
typescript, or something else.

IMO, never.

I am in the final rounds of edits for my book and a question has come up
between me and the editors. When should the matplotlib be capitalized?
1) never
2) mostly never (even in the beginning of a sentence), except when used in
a title
3) usually never, except at the beginning of a sentence and in titles
4) capitalize when referring to the project, not capitalized when referring
to the package
5) usually capitalize like a proper noun except in code examples
Thoughts?

Hi, Diego
1) use the linewidth=0 kwarg to plot_surface (e.g. see
http://matplotlib.org/examples/mplot3d/surface3d_demo.html)
2) Define your mesh by r, theta, then convert to x, y (e.g. see
http://stackoverflow.com/a/26876699/2965572)

Dear all,
I have two problems.
1) I would like to plot a 3D surface, but without lines.
2) I would like to plot the surface on a circular domain.
I mean, this is a piece of my code
X = np.arange(0, 1, 0.05)
Y = np.arange(0, 1, 0.05)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(X, Y)
R = np.sqrt(X**2 + Y**2)
Z = np.sin(R)
ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, rstride=10, cstride=10, alpha=0.3)
The domain is therefore a square, I would like to have a circular domain.
Thanks a lot
Diego
