+Errorbar method for mplot3d
+---------------------------
+
+The errorbar function :meth:`matplotlib.axes._axes.Axes.errorbar` is ported
+into the `mplot3d` framework in its entirety. Supports features such as custom
+styling for error lines and cap marks, control over erorrbar spacing, upper and
+lower limit marks.
