Toolkits

Toolkits are collections of application-specific functions that extend Matplotlib.

mplot3d

mpl_toolkits.mplot3d provides some basic 3D plotting (scatter, surf, line, mesh) tools. Not the fastest or most feature complete 3D library out there, but it ships with Matplotlib and thus may be a lighter weight solution for some use cases. Check out the mplot3d tutorial for more information.
