| Generating 3D plots using the mplot3d toolkit. | |
| This tutorial showcases various 3D plots. Click on the figures to see each full | |

| 3D Axes (of class `.Axes3D`) are created by passing the ``projection="3d"`` | |
| keyword argument to `.Figure.add_subplot`:: | |
| import matplotlib.pyplot as plt | |
| fig = plt.figure() | |
| ax = fig.add_subplot(projection='3d') | |
| Multiple 3D subplots can be added on the same figure, as for 2D subplots. | |

| .. versionchanged:: 3.2.0 | |
| Prior to Matplotlib 3.2.0, it was necessary to explicitly import the | |
| :mod:`mpl_toolkits.mplot3d` module to make the '3d' projection to | |
| `.Figure.add_subplot`. | |
| See the :ref:`toolkit_mplot3d-faq` for more information about the mplot3d | |
| toolkit. | |
