No, I'm afraid not. I believe mesh is fundamentally for plotting surfaces NOT volumes but if you believe you can prove me wrong and to avoid any further confusion about what exactly I am trying to achieve see this link:

Think of it as plotting the temperature at every point through a block of metal, I believe Martin Helm has correctly understood what I am trying to do.
To do this with mesh as you suggest I believe each of the x,y,z inputs would have to be 3-D arrays not 2-D as in your example, but mesh will not work with 3-D array inputs, hence my problem.

Hope this is clear.
