Parameters:
X, Y, Zarray-like,

Input data. SeeAxes.contour for supported data shapes.

extend3dbool, default: False

Whether to extend contour in 3D.

strideint, default: 5

Step size for extending contour.

zdir{'x', 'y', 'z'}, default: 'z'

The direction to use.

offsetfloat, optional

If specified, plot a projection of the contour lines at thisposition in a plane normal tozdir.

axlim_clipbool, default: False

Whether to hide lines with a vertex outside the axes view limits.
