Plotting Edge Data on Mesh Plots

I have a vector of complex data that describes information on mesh edges. I am attempting to plot this data using trisurf or trimesh, but these functions can only plot node or face data. Is there any way to plot this data in MATLAB?

You could use PATCH to specify the edges.

If you look at the PATCH documentation there are only 4 options, none of which satisfy my needs. EdgeColor can be {ColorSpec} | none | flat | interp. ColorSpec is a flat color for all edges, and flat and interp are node based. The only way I can see to fix this is to duplicate nodes and then use the flat option as long as each edge has a unique node for determining color. As a point of reference, my test geometry has 10 nodes, 24 edges, and 18 triangles.

So I manually wrote a program using PATCH and will submit it to the File Exchange.
