Changing surface grid generated via FIT function in MATLAB

Question

I have the following plot generated via FIT function:

[xrData, yrData, zrData] = prepareSurfaceData( Vr, Vi, Cr );      %this is my data used
ftr = 'lowess';
surffitr = fit( [xrData, yrData], zrData, ftr, 'Normalize', 'on' );
%Then I can plot the surface:
plot(surffitr,[xrData, yrData], zrData)
grid on
set(gca,'FontSize',16)
set(gcf,'color','w')
set(gcf,'units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1]) %maximize plot window to be saved
xlabel('Real Part of $\bar{V}^{+}_{f}, Re(\bar{V}^{+}_{f}) (V)$ ','Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('Imaginary Part of $\bar{V}^{+}_{f}, Im(\bar{V}^{+}_{f}) (V)$ ','Interpreter','latex')
zlabel('Real Part of $I^{+}_{vd} (A)$','Interpreter','latex')

Which Generates the following:Surface Generated

The point is, I wanted to alter my surface grid, for instance removing it, or using a different pattern (increasing the space between each cell).

I'm not using surf() function directly so I'm a bit confused about how to do it. Could someone please help me?

Thank you!

Once you have your fit for the surface, you can apply it to whatever grid you want.

So, for example, if you want to increase/decrease your grid size, generate a new grid

[xNew, yNew] = meshgrid(minX:gridSizeX:maxX, minY:gridSizeY:maxY);

where you decide your minimum, maximum and grid size values for your x and y variables, and then apply the fit to them

zNew = surffitr(xNew, ynew);

After, you can plot it in whichever way you want (using surf, contour, ...).
