These examples in the docstrings seem to have the sole purpose of generating the plot, there isn't anything in them that should be tested, and the pop-up windows somewhat annoying when running the tests locally.
Therefore, after consulting with @seberg, we think it's better to switch to use the
plot
directive. Whether the code is executing without error or not will be checked during the sphinx-build, no need to run the doctests, too.(This came up during #23812, but that PR will be monster big, and thus I'm chopping it up to smaller pieces. Also, there are more plots generated in the API docs, but those were not triggering pop-up windows)
