Line Sequence Dependent Surfaces

Using the line method get_surface_to_line, a surface is generated from line to line in sequential order of the lines. This example demonstrates the effect of line sequence on the resulting surface. In the above figure, the two lines are shown using different sequential colormaps. The resulting surfaces are seen dependent on the sequential order of the ‘red to yellow’ line.
