 equivalent to using `corner_mask=True`; the previous behaviour can be obtained
 using `corner_mask=False` or by changing the rcParam.  The example

 result is that the displayed curves or symbols may be compressed into a tiny
 portion of the available area, so that the final plot conveys much less
