Use a Surface plot to display a quantity on a domain in 2D (

) or on a boundary in 3D (

). Add 
Deformation, 
Filter, 
Image (Plot Attribute), 
Marker, 
Material Appearance, 
Selection (Plot Attribute), 
Translation, 
Transparency (3D and 2D with a Height Expression), or 
Height Expression (2D only) subnodes as needed. Right-click a 
2D Plot Group or 
3D Plot Group to add a 
Surface plot. It is possible to use data from a 2D dataset to create an embedded surface plot in 3D, on the 
xy-plane at 
z = 0. You can also create a 
Surface plot from the 
Evaluation Group contextual ribbon toolbar for plotting an evaluation group.
