mplot3d API
***********

.. note::
`.pyplot` cannot be used to add content to 3D plots, because its function
signatures are strictly 2D and cannot handle the additional information
needed for 3D. Instead, use the explicit API by calling the respective
methods on the `.Axes3D` object.

===================================

.. note::
Significant effort went into bringing axes3d to feature-parity with
regular axes objects for version 1.1.0. However, more work remains.
3D plotting in Matplotlib is still not as mature as the 2D case.
Please report any functions that do not behave as expected as a bug.
In addition, help and patches would be greatly appreciated!
