"\n# Filled contours\n\n`.Axes3D.contourf` differs from `.Axes3D.contour` in that it creates filled\ncontours, i.e. a discrete number of colours are used to shade the domain.\n\nThis is like a `.Axes.contourf` plot in 2D except that the shaded region\ncorresponding to the level c is graphed on the plane ``z=c``.\n"
