def surface(data=None, x=None, y=None, z=None, **kwargs):
r"""
Grids table data using adjustable tension continuous curvature splines.
Surface reads randomly-spaced (x,y,z) triples and produces gridded values
z(x,y) by solving:
.. math:: (1 - t)\nabla^2(z)+t\nabla(z) = 0
where :math:`t` is a tension factor between 0 and 1, and :math:`\nabla`
indicates the Laplacian operator.
Takes a matrix, xyz triples, or a file name as input.
Must provide either ``data`` or ``x``, ``y``, and ``z``.
Full option list at :gmt-docs:`surface.html`

Parameters
----------
data : str or {table-like}
Pass in (x, y, z) or (longitude, latitude, elevation) values by
providing a file name to an ASCII data table, a 2D
{table-classes}.
x/y/z : 1d arrays
Arrays of x and y coordinates and values z of the data points.
{I}
{R}
outgrid : str
Optional. The file name for the output netcdf file with extension .nc
to store the grid in.
{V}
{a}
{b}
{d}
{e}
{f}
{h}
{i}
{r}
{w}
Returns
-------
ret: xarray.DataArray or None
Return type depends on whether the ``outgrid`` parameter is set:
- :class:`xarray.DataArray`: if ``outgrid`` is not set
- None if ``outgrid`` is set (grid output will be stored in file set by
``outgrid``)
