Many ways to plot images in Matplotlib.

The most common way to plot images in Matplotlib is with
`~.axes.Axes.imshow`. The following examples demonstrate much of the
functionality of imshow and the many images you can create.

... # Interpolating images
... # --------------------
... #
... # It is also possible to interpolate images before displaying them. Be careful,
... # as this may manipulate the way your data looks, but it can be helpful for
... # achieving the look you want. Below we'll display the same (small) array,
... # interpolated with three different interpolation methods.
... #
... # The center of the pixel at A[i, j] is plotted at (i+0.5, i+0.5).  If you
... # are using interpolation='nearest', the region bounded by (i, j) and
... # (i+1, j+1) will have the same color.  If you are using interpolation,
... # the pixel center will have the same color as it does with nearest, but
... # other pixels will be interpolated between the neighboring pixels.
... #
... # To prevent edge effects when doing interpolation, Matplotlib pads the input
... # array with identical pixels around the edge: if you have a 5x5 array with
... # colors a-y as below::
... #
... #   a b c d e
... #   f g h i j
... #   k l m n o
... #   p q r s t
... #   u v w x y
... #
... # Matplotlib computes the interpolation and resizing on the padded array ::
... #
... #   a a b c d e e
... #   a a b c d e e
... #   f f g h i j j
... #   k k l m n o o
... #   p p q r s t t
... #   o u v w x y y
... #   o u v w x y y
... #
... # and then extracts the central region of the result.  (Extremely old versions
... # of Matplotlib (<0.63) did not pad the array, but instead adjusted the view
... # limits to hide the affected edge areas.)
... #
... # This approach allows plotting the full extent of an array without
... # edge effects, and for example to layer multiple images of different
... # sizes over one another with different interpolation methods -- see
... # :doc:`/gallery/images_contours_and_fields/layer_images`.  It also implies
... # a performance hit, as this new temporary, padded array must be created.
... # Sophisticated interpolation also implies a performance hit; for maximal
... # performance or very large images, interpolation='nearest' is suggested.
... 
... A = np.random.rand(5, 5)
