Description
The `NonUniformImage` class in image.py is potentially a good match for many use cases, but it is rarely used because it's high-level API is missing. It should be as accessible as imshow and pcolormesh.

Research direction
Start in image.py with the NonUniformImage class, then compare how the imshow and pcolormesh Axes methods and pyplot functions are exposed. Add the corresponding high-level interfaces so NonUniformImage is accessible through both APIs, and verify that the new entry points behave consistently with those existing plotting functions.
