------------------------------+----------------------------
The docstring for `visualize_structure` (from the file
`matrix/matrix2.pyx`) says that the input is
{{{
- ``filename`` - either a path or None in which case a
filename in the current directory is chosen automatically
(default:None)
}}}
In fact, if `filename` is None, then the file gets silently saved in a
temporary directory (by default a subdirectory of `DOTSAGE/temp`), leaving
the user to wonder where their file went. I guess the right thing to do is
to change the docstring, since I think that's how other methods for saving
graphics work.
(The docstring is also misformatted: `maxsize` should be in the bulleted
list of inputs.)
