            `Wireframe <MeshType.Wireframe>`
                Wire frame meshes are drawn below any other zone layers on the same
                zone. In 3D Cartesian plots, no hidden lines are removed. For 3D
                volume zones (finite element volume or IJK-ordered), the full 3D
                mesh (consisting of all the connecting lines between data points)
                is not generally drawn because the sheer number of lines would make
                it confusing. The mesh drawn will depend on `FieldmapSurfaces`
                which can be obtained through the parent fieldmap with
                ``mesh.fieldmap.surfaces``::

                    from tecplot.constant import MeshType, SurfacesToPlot
                    mesh = plot.fieldmap(0).mesh

                    surfaces = mesh.fieldmap.surfaces
                    surfaces.surfaces_to_plot = SurfacesToPlot.IPlanes

                By default, only the mesh on exposed cell faces is shown.

            `Overlay <MeshType.Overlay>`
                Similar to Wire Frame, mesh lines are drawn over all other zone
                layers except for vectors and scatter symbols. In 3D Cartesian
                plots, the area behind the cells of the plot is still visible
                (unless another plot type such as contour flooding prevents this).
                As with Wire Frame, the mesh drawn will depend on
                `FieldmapSurfaces` which can be obtained through the parent
                fieldmap with ``mesh.fieldmap.surfaces``.

            `HiddenLine <MeshType.HiddenLine>`
                Similar to Overlay, except hidden lines are removed from behind the
                mesh. In effect, the cells (elements) of the mesh are opaque.
                FieldmapSurfaces and lines that are hidden behind another surface
                are removed from the plot. For 3D volume zones, using this plot
                type obscures everything inside the zone. If you choose this option
                for 3D volume zones, then choosing to plot every surface with::

                    from tecplot.constant import HiddenLine, SurfacesToPlot
                    mesh = plot.fieldmap(0).mesh

                    surfaces = mesh.fieldmap.surfaces
                    surfaces.surfaces_to_plot = SurfacesToPlot.All

                has the same effect as plotting only exposed cell faces with::

                    surfaces.surfaces_to_plot = SurfacesToPlot.ExposedCellFaces
