*Summary:* This example shows how to create 3D-Mesh charts in F#.

Let's first create some data for the purpose of creating example charts:

open System
open Plotly.NET


//---------------------- Generate linearly spaced vector ----------------------
let linspace (min, max, n) =
    if n <= 2 then
        failwithf "n needs to be larger then 2"

    let bw = float (max - min) / (float n - 1.)
    Array.init n (fun i -> min + (bw * float i))
//[|min ..bw ..max|]

//---------------------- Create example data ----------------------
let size = 100
let x = linspace (-2. * Math.PI, 2. * Math.PI, size)
let y = linspace (-2. * Math.PI, 2. * Math.PI, size)

let f x y = -(5. * x / (x ** 2. + y ** 2. + 1.))

let z = Array.init size (fun i -> Array.init size (fun j -> f x.[j] y.[i]))

let rnd = System.Random()
let a = Array.init 50 (fun _ -> rnd.NextDouble())
let b = Array.init 50 (fun _ -> rnd.NextDouble())
let c = Array.init 50 (fun _ -> rnd.NextDouble())

open Plotly.NET.TraceObjects

let mesh3d = Chart.Mesh3D(x = a, y = b, z = c, FlatShading = true)
