Description

visual "crowd-testing" ?

We only have smoke test for the plots.
One addition that works both as tests and as documentation would be to add notebooks that just illustrate different options for the plots.

and it would make reviewing a PR for graphics easier
See for example #1861

Review the existing plot smoke tests and the example in issue #1861 first. Define a set of notebooks that illustrate different plot options, then verify that they serve both as visual checks for graphics changes and as documentation for reviewers.
