I haven't found an answer to this yet: I have a grid defined in a text file with four columns: (lon,lat,depth,slip). Each row is a grid point.



I can generate a scatter plot of these points using the following simple code:



# Main imports:
import numpy as np
from pylab import *
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

# Read the grid:
points = np.loadtxt("grid.txt")

# Retrieve parameters from the grid:
lon = points[:,0]
lat = points[:,1]
depth = points[:,2]
slip = points[:,3]

# 3-D plot of the model:
fig = figure(1)
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
p = ax.scatter(lon, lat, depth, c=slip, vmin=0, vmax=max(slip), s=30, edgecolor='none', marker='o')
fig.colorbar(p)
title("Published finite fault in 3-D")
ax.set_xlabel("Longitude [degrees]")
ax.set_ylabel("Latitude [degrees]")
ax.set_zlabel("Depth [km]")
ax.invert_zaxis()
jet()
grid()
show()


And I get the following figure:
Grid in 3-D. The color of each point represents the "slip" values.
What I want to do is to be able to interpolate those points to create a "continuous" surface grid and plot it in both 2-D and 3-D plots. Therefore, somehow I've to consider all (lon,lat,depth,slip) in the interpolation. I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thanks in advance!

  • It could work, but how can I account for the values in the fourth column (slip)? I'm trying to do that right now, still unsuccessfully.

  • I’m sure there are many examples of trisurf out there... you just have to search for them

  • Check this question. It depends a bit on how your data is ordered (which is unknown here).

  • In my data file, none of the columns are sorted in any way. I've checked some examples of trisurf. For a 2-D plot, the 'slip' values of my data could be used in 'z'. But in a 3-D plot, the grid is a plane with an azimuth and dip, and each point has a value of 'slip' that I want to interpolate and color on the plane. That is the main difficulty.
