        Parameters
        ----------
        fig : Figure
            The parent figure.
        rect : tuple (left, bottom, width, height), default: None.
            The ``(left, bottom, width, height)`` axes position.
        elev : float, default: 30
            The elevation angle in degrees rotates the camera above and below
            the x-y plane, with a positive angle corresponding to a location
            above the plane.
        azim : float, default: -60
            The azimuthal angle in degrees rotates the camera about the z axis,
            with a positive angle corresponding to a right-handed rotation. In
            other words, a positive azimuth rotates the camera about the origin
            from its location along the +x axis towards the +y axis.
        roll : float, default: 0
            The roll angle in degrees rotates the camera about the viewing
            axis. A positive angle spins the camera clockwise, causing the
            scene to rotate counter-clockwise.
        sharez : Axes3D, optional
            Other Axes to share z-limits with.
        proj_type : {'persp', 'ortho'}
            The projection type, default 'persp'.
        box_aspect : 3-tuple of floats, default: None
            Changes the physical dimensions of the Axes3D, such that the ratio
            of the axis lengths in display units is x:y:z.
            If None, defaults to 4:4:3
        computed_zorder : bool, default: True
            If True, the draw order is computed based on the average position
            of the `.Artist`\\s along the view direction.
            Set to False if you want to manually control the order in which
            Artists are drawn on top of each other using their *zorder*
            attribute. This can be used for fine-tuning if the automatic order
            does not produce the desired result. Note however, that a manual
            zorder will only be correct for a limited view angle. If the figure
            is rotated by the user, it will look wrong from certain angles.
        focal_length : float, default: None
            For a projection type of 'persp', the focal length of the virtual
            camera. Must be > 0. If None, defaults to 1.
            For a projection type of 'ortho', must be set to either None
            or infinity (numpy.inf). If None, defaults to infinity.
            The focal length can be computed from a desired Field Of View via
            the equation: focal_length = 1/tan(FOV/2)
        shareview : Axes3D, optional
            Other Axes to share view angles with.

            pierced by the vertical axis, with a positive angle corresponding
            to a location above that plane. For example, with the default

            The azimuthal angle in degrees rotates the camera about the

            right-handed rotation. For example, with the default vertical axis
            of 'z', a positive azimuth rotates the camera about the origin from
            its location along the +x axis towards the +y axis.
            If None, then the initial value as specified in the `Axes3D`
            constructor is used.
        roll : float, default: None
            The roll angle in degrees rotates the camera about the viewing
            axis. A positive angle spins the camera clockwise, causing the
            scene to rotate counter-clockwise.

        rstride, cstride : int

           The *rcount* and *ccount* kwargs, which both default to 50,
           determine the maximum number of samples used in each direction.  If
           the input data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to
           these numbers of points.

        Parameters
        ----------
        X, Y, Z : 2D arrays
            Data values.

        rcount, ccount : int
            Maximum number of samples used in each direction.  If the input
            data is larger, it will be downsampled (by slicing) to these
            numbers of points.  Setting a count to zero causes the data to be
            not sampled in the corresponding direction, producing a 3D line
            plot rather than a wireframe plot.  Defaults to 50.

        rstride, cstride : int
            Downsampling stride in each direction.  These arguments are
            mutually exclusive with *rcount* and *ccount*.  If only one of
            *rstride* or *cstride* is set, the other defaults to 1.  Setting a
            stride to zero causes the data to be not sampled in the
            corresponding direction, producing a 3D line plot rather than a
            wireframe plot.

            'classic' mode uses a default of ``rstride = cstride = 1`` instead
            of the new default of ``rcount = ccount = 50``.

        zs : float or array-like, default: 0
            The z-positions. Either an array of the same length as *xs* and
            *ys* or a single value to place all points in the same plane.
        zdir : {'x', 'y', 'z', '-x', '-y', '-z'}, default: 'z'
            The axis direction for the *zs*. This is useful when plotting 2D
            data on a 3D Axes. The data must be passed as *xs*, *ys*. Setting
            *zdir* to 'y' then plots the data to the x-z-plane.

            - A single color format string.
            - A sequence of colors of length n.
            - A sequence of n numbers to be mapped to colors using *cmap* and

        Plot a set of filled voxels

        All voxels are plotted as 1x1x1 cubes on the axis, with
        ``filled[0, 0, 0]`` placed with its lower corner at the origin.
        Occluded faces are not plotted.

        Parameters
        ----------
        filled : 3D np.array of bool
            A 3D array of values, with truthy values indicating which voxels
            to fill

        x, y, z : 3D np.array, optional
            The coordinates of the corners of the voxels. This should broadcast
            to a shape one larger in every dimension than the shape of
            *filled*.  These can be used to plot non-cubic voxels.

            If not specified, defaults to increasing integers along each axis,
            like those returned by :func:`~numpy.indices`.
            As indicated by the ``/`` in the function signature, these
            arguments can only be passed positionally.

        facecolors, edgecolors : array-like, optional
            The color to draw the faces and edges of the voxels. Can only be
            passed as keyword arguments.
            These parameters can be:

            - A single color value, to color all voxels the same color. This
              can be either a string, or a 1D RGB/RGBA array
            - ``None``, the default, to use a single color for the faces, and
              the style default for the edges.
            - A 3D `~numpy.ndarray` of color names, with each item the color
              for the corresponding voxel. The size must match the voxels.
            - A 4D `~numpy.ndarray` of RGB/RGBA data, with the components
              along the last axis.

        shade : bool, default: True
            Whether to shade the facecolors.

        lightsource : `~matplotlib.colors.LightSource`
            The lightsource to use when *shade* is True.

        **kwargs
            Additional keyword arguments to pass onto
            `~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Poly3DCollection`.

        Returns
        -------
        faces : dict
            A dictionary indexed by coordinate, where ``faces[i, j, k]`` is a
            `.Poly3DCollection` of the faces drawn for the voxel
            ``filled[i, j, k]``. If no faces were drawn for a given voxel,
            either because it was not asked to be drawn, or it is fully
            occluded, then ``(i, j, k) not in faces``.

        Plot lines and/or markers with errorbars around them.

        the errorbar sizes. By default, this draws the data markers/lines as
        well the errorbars. Use fmt='none' to draw errorbars only.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x, y, z : float or array-like
            The data positions.

        xerr, yerr, zerr : float or array-like, shape (N,) or (2, N), optional
            The errorbar sizes:

            - scalar: Symmetric +/- values for all data points.
            - shape(N,): Symmetric +/-values for each data point.
            - shape(2, N): Separate - and + values for each bar. First row
              contains the lower errors, the second row contains the upper
              errors.
            - *None*: No errorbar.

            Note that all error arrays should have *positive* values.

        fmt : str, default: ''
            The format for the data points / data lines. See `.plot` for
            details.

            Use 'none' (case-insensitive) to plot errorbars without any data
            markers.

        ecolor : color, default: None
            The color of the errorbar lines.  If None, use the color of the
            line connecting the markers.

        elinewidth : float, default: None
            The linewidth of the errorbar lines. If None, the linewidth of
            the current style is used.

        capsize : float, default: :rc:`errorbar.capsize`
            The length of the error bar caps in points.

        capthick : float, default: None
            An alias to the keyword argument *markeredgewidth* (a.k.a. *mew*).
            This setting is a more sensible name for the property that
            controls the thickness of the error bar cap in points. For
            backwards compatibility, if *mew* or *markeredgewidth* are given,
            then they will over-ride *capthick*. This may change in future
            releases.

        barsabove : bool, default: False
            If True, will plot the errorbars above the plot
            symbols. Default is below.

        xlolims, ylolims, zlolims : bool, default: False
            These arguments can be used to indicate that a value gives only
            lower limits. In that case a caret symbol is used to indicate
            this. *lims*-arguments may be scalars, or array-likes of the same
            length as the errors. To use limits with inverted axes,
            `~.Axes.set_xlim` or `~.Axes.set_ylim` must be called before
            `errorbar`. Note the tricky parameter names: setting e.g.
            *ylolims* to True means that the y-value is a *lower* limit of the
            True value, so, only an *upward*-pointing arrow will be drawn!

        xuplims, yuplims, zuplims : bool, default: False
            Same as above, but for controlling the upper limits.

        errorevery : int or (int, int), default: 1
            draws error bars on a subset of the data. *errorevery* =N draws
            error bars on the points (x[::N], y[::N], z[::N]).
            *errorevery* =(start, N) draws error bars on the points
            (x[start::N], y[start::N], z[start::N]). e.g. *errorevery* =(6, 3)
            adds error bars to the data at (x[6], x[9], x[12], x[15], ...).
            Used to avoid overlapping error bars when two series share x-axis
            values.

        Returns
        -------
        errlines : list
            List of `~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Line3DCollection` instances
            each containing an errorbar line.
        caplines : list
            List of `~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Line3D` instances each
            containing a capline object.
        limmarks : list
            List of `~mpl_toolkits.mplot3d.art3d.Line3D` instances each
            containing a marker with an upper or lower limit.

        Create a 3D stem plot.

        A stem plot draws lines perpendicular to a baseline, and places markers
        at the heads. By default, the baseline is defined by *x* and *y*, and
        stems are drawn vertically from *bottom* to *z*.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x, y, z : array-like
            The positions of the heads of the stems. The stems are drawn along
            the *orientation*-direction from the baseline at *bottom* (in the
            *orientation*-coordinate) to the heads. By default, the *x* and *y*
            positions are used for the baseline and *z* for the head position,
            but this can be changed by *orientation*.

        linefmt : str, default: 'C0-'
            A string defining the properties of the vertical lines. Usually,
            this will be a color or a color and a linestyle:

            =========  =============
            Character  Line Style
            =========  =============
            ``'-'``    solid line
            ``'--'``   dashed line
            ``'-.'``   dash-dot line
            ``':'``    dotted line
            =========  =============

            Note: While it is technically possible to specify valid formats
            other than color or color and linestyle (e.g. 'rx' or '-.'), this
            is beyond the intention of the method and will most likely not
            result in a reasonable plot.

        markerfmt : str, default: 'C0o'
            A string defining the properties of the markers at the stem heads.

        basefmt : str, default: 'C3-'
            A format string defining the properties of the baseline.

        bottom : float, default: 0
            The position of the baseline, in *orientation*-coordinates.

        label : str, default: None
            The label to use for the stems in legends.

        orientation : {'x', 'y', 'z'}, default: 'z'
            The direction along which stems are drawn.

        data : indexable object, optional
            DATA_PARAMETER_PLACEHOLDER

        Returns
        -------
        `.StemContainer`
            The container may be treated like a tuple
