""" =================== 3D box surface plot =================== Given data on a gridded volume ``X``, ``Y``, ``Z``, this example plots the data values on the volume surfaces. The strategy is to select the data from each surface and plot contours separately using `.axes3d.Axes3D.contourf` with appropriate parameters *zdir* and *offset*.
