Hi Alessandro,
What you did is fine. However, the default size of the DensityGraphic
object, generated by ListDensityPlot, is too small to render correctly
(that is to make discernible) the mesh and the tiny black and white
squares. To solve the issue, just increase the size of the image to some
large enough still convenient values.
In[1]:=
(* Generate a random array of binary values *)
lab2 = Table[Random[Integer], {249}, {400}];
(* This is an alternative to Show[Graphics[...]] *)
ArrayPlot[lab2]
(* Adding a mesh, the plot becomes a gray rectangle *)
ArrayPlot[lab2, Mesh -> True]
(* Default size shows a black rectangle *)
ListDensityPlot[lab2]
(* With this setting, one can clearly see the grid of black and white
squares *)
ListDensityPlot[lab2, ImageSize -> 4*Dimensions[lab2]]
Regards,
Jean-Marc
