Wireframe plot of indicatrix request

Please provide us with the following information:

In the old version of pascal the indicatrix plots were originally made as a wireframe. It would be great if there were an option to do this in the new version!

There's no in-built plotly wireframe plot so this will require implementing one from scratch.

https://plotly.com/python/reference/surface/#surface-hidesurface might be the ticket here? Adding the ability to interactively toggle might be a bit more work though

There seems to be a way of doing it with meshgrid? https://plotly.com/python/v3/3d-wireframe-plots/

Thanks, unfortunately that's for v3 of plotly which is very old and for some reason it was removed. I've put some contours on the surface plot which make it look a bit wireframey. It should be possible someone who wanted only contours only to tweak the plotting code, either by making the colour of the surface white (transparent?) or possibly by only plotting the contours. I don't think this looks as nice so currently won't make it default.
