The help for this function doesn't really describe what the function is supposed to do.

pcolormesh(*args, **kwargs)
call signatures::

pcolormesh(C)
pcolormesh(X, Y, C)
pcolormesh(C, **kwargs)

*C* may be a masked array, but *X* and *Y* may not. Masked
array support is implemented via *cmap* and *norm*; in
contrast, :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.pcolor` simply does not
draw quadrilaterals with masked colors or vertices.
