Description

Originally reported by: Chris Malone (Bitbucket: ChrisMalone, GitHub: ChrisMalone)

Most visualization software provides the capability to make isocontour plots, even in 3d. We have a round-about way of doing this in a cookbook recipe, but this should be much simpler for the user.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at existing plot types in yt (e.g., SlicePlot, ProjectionPlot) and the cookbook recipe for isocontours. Understand the data structure and how to add a new plot type. The implementation may involve using matplotlib's contour functions. Check the yt development guide for contributing new features.
