"""Interactive wrappers for interactive use of various pyplot APIs.
Functions like ``matplotlib.pyplot.plot(x,y)`` are usually invoked as
subroutine calls interactively, but inconveniently return an object
which prints at the terminal. This module wraps such functions to
return None, so that an interactive terminal isn't half filled with
unwanted object outputs. In the rare cases in which you need the
return value, you can easily use, e.g.- ``result = plt.plot(x,y)``.
Also provides the convenience functions `xylim` and `logxy`.

matplotlib.pyplot.axis : get or set limits for current axes
Notes
-----
The `xylim` function avoids the need for passing a tuple to `axis`,
and has no return value, to avoid printing a value. It is strictly
a convenience function for interactive use; use `axis` in scripts.

islog : bool, optional
True means to use log scale for axes, False means linear scale.
None or omitted means leave axis scaling unchanged.
islogy : bool, optional
If islogy omitted, islog applies to both x and y axes.
If islogy provided, islog applies only to the x axis and islogy
