def _update_scalarmappable(sm):
    """
    Update a 3D ScalarMappable.

    With ScalarMappable objects if the data, colormap, or norm are
    changed, we need to update the computed colors.  This is handled
    by the base class method update_scalarmappable.  This method works
    by, detecting if work needs to be done, and if so stashing it on
    the ``self._facecolors`` attribute.

    With 3D collections we internally sort the components so that
    things that should be "in front" are rendered later to simulate
    having a z-buffer (in addition to doing the projections).  This is
    handled in the ``do_3d_projection`` methods which are called from the
    draw method of the 3D Axes.  These methods:

    - do the projection from 3D -> 2D
    - internally sort based on depth
    - stash the results of the above in the 2D analogs of state
    - return the z-depth of the whole artist

    the last step is so that we can, at the Axes level, sort the children by
    depth.

    The base `draw` method of the 2D artists unconditionally calls
    update_scalarmappable and rely on the method's internal caching logic to
    lazily evaluate.

    These things together mean you can have the sequence of events:

    - we create the artist, do the color mapping and stash the results
      in a 3D specific state.
    - change something about the ScalarMappable that marks it as in
      need of an update (`ScalarMappable.changed` and friends).
    - We call do_3d_projection and shuffle the stashed colors into the
      2D version of face colors
    - the draw method calls the update_scalarmappable method which
      overwrites our shuffled colors
    - we get a render that is wrong
    - if we re-render (either with a second save or implicitly via
      tight_layout / constrained_layout / bbox_inches='tight' (ex via
      inline's defaults)) we again shuffle the 3D colors
    - because the CM is not marked as changed update_scalarmappable is
      a no-op and we get a correct looking render.

    This function is an internal helper to:

    - sort out if we need to do the color mapping at all (has data!)
    - sort out if update_scalarmappable is going to be a no-op
    - copy the data over from the 2D -> 3D version

    This must be called first thing in do_3d_projection to make sure that
    the correct colors get shuffled.

        In practice, Matplotlib fills the 2D projection of the polygon. This

        If you need filled areas, it is recommended to create them via
