Fixes #13955.
Here's what I changed to make the blocking behavior consistent:
plot_evoked_topomap: removed hardcodedblock=False(so this is now consistent with other plotting functions).plot_sensors(plus corresponding methods): changedblock=Falsetoblock=None(here the argument is useful to force blocking when needed forkind="select").Spectrum.plot_topo,plot_psd_topomethods,plot_raw_psd_topo: deprecated theblockargument since I don't think these functions need it.So the behavior now is as follows: Since
show=Trueby default, this essentially means that the functions callplt.show()internally. This shows the figure and blocks by default. Blocking can be changed via%matplotlibin IPython orplt.ion()in the regular Python REPL. I'm not sure about Jupyter notebooks, but I think whatever they do shouldn't have changed (they probably do not block by default).
