The surface mesh charts are used to explore the relationships among three-dimensional data. SciChart API allows you to add contours to the mesh to represent the three-dimensional relationships in two dimensions in your iOS apps. The contours are configurable, you may set the thickness, stroke color, opacity, offsets, intervals or even omit contours.

Please see details in SciChart iOS 3D documentation article for Configuring Contours on Surface Meshes.
