Notes

For a temporary change, this can be used as a context manager:

# if interactive mode is off# then figures will not be shown on creationplt.ioff()# This figure will not be shown immediatelyfig=plt.figure()withplt.ion():# interactive mode will be on# figures will automatically be shownfig2=plt.figure()# ...

To enable optional usage as a context manager, this function returns acontext manager object, which is not intended to be stored oraccessed by the user.
