Suggestion: Remove the plt.show() calls in the plotting functions

[RaverJay]

Hey there,

See title. This would allow the user to actually use the returned ax object, e.g. to plot more things into these Axes.
Currently the plt.show() command blocks this.

The usual pyplot way of things is to make the figure and axes, then plot stuff into it, customize the ticks etc, and then finally call
plt.show() or plt.savefig() - as the user's responsibility.

Also, it would be great to have more parameters, e.g. for figure size

Cheers

I'm a bit baffled by the matplotlib library, but that sounds right. However, it would be a (small) breaking change, so I'm deferring it to the next major release.
