# Demonstrates plotting contour (level) curves in 3D

This is like a contour plot in 2D except that the f(x,y)=c curve is plotted on the plane z=c.

    from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import axes3d
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    from matplotlib import cm

    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
    X, Y, Z = axes3d.get_test_data(0.05)

    # Plot contour curves
    cset = ax.contour(X, Y, Z, cmap=cm.coolwarm)

    ax.clabel(cset, fontsize=9, inline=1)

    plt.show()

Total running time of the script: ( 0 minutes 0.037 seconds)
