    r"""Plots the interaction coefficients of many two-qubit operations.

    Plots:
        A point for the (x, y, z) normalized interaction coefficients of
        each interaction from the given interactions. The (x, y, z) coordinates
        are normalized so that the maximum value is at 1 instead of at pi/4.

        If `include_frame` is set to True, then a black wireframe outline of the
        canonicalized normalized KAK coefficient space. The space is defined by
        the following two constraints:

            0 <= abs(z) <= y <= x <= 1
            if x = 1 then z >= 0

        The wireframe includes lines along the surface of the space at z=0.

        The space is a prism with the identity at the origin, a crease along
        y=z=0 leading to the CZ/CNOT at x=1 and a vertical triangular face that
        contains the iswap at x=y=1,z=0 and the swap at x=y=z=1:
