Scikit documentation -- missing details or am I not looking in the right place?

What is the function K in the following link. I want to really understand how this algorithm works. Please advise:

My guess is that it's the rbf kernel function since the first parameter in MeanShift is the bandwidth of the kernel.

EDIT: K is a actually a flat (uniform) kernel. A good diagram with the different kernel types is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(statistics)#Some_of_the_kernels_mentioned_above_in_a_common_coordinate_system
