If you can live with having diagonal lines in each mesh box, its
pretty easy. If you run 'java Test12' in visad/examples, you'll
see a 2-D surface. If you modify Test12.java to add a line:
GraphicsModeControl mode = dpys[0].getGraphicsModeControl();
mode.setTextureEnable(false);
mode.setPolygonMode(DisplayImplJ3D.POLYGON_LINE); // ADD THIS LINE
Then compile (javac -g Test12.java), then run 'java Test12' you'll
see the surface as a mesh.
If you want more control over the mesh appearence, copy the ideas
in the main() method of visad/Delaunay.java, lines 1013 - 1125.
Cheers,
Bill
