Show Edges

Show the edges of all geometries within a mesh

Sometimes it can be useful to show all of the edges of a mesh when rendering to communicate aspects of the dataset like resolution.

Showing the edges for any rendered dataset is as simple as specifying the the show_edges keyword argument to True when plotting a dataset.
