JOSS Review: Optional flag to plot (but not show) a Fermi surface

[Andrew-S-Rosen]

RE: openjournals/joss-reviews#3089

Describe the bug
Upon running ifermi plot, it appears that an .html file is generated and an attempt is made to view the plot. I think it would be nice to have an optional flag to generate the plot but not show it. In my case, I'm SSH'd into a Linux machine without x-forwarding, and the code calls a web browser that I can't actually view and have to manually cancel out of every time I generate a plot via the command line interface.

I got ahead of myself. I see that later in the docs there are other backends! Sorry! This is probably also related to #20 when using the Ubuntu subshell, where I didn't have a GUI or web browser.

Also you can use --output filename.jpg to save a file rather generating an interactive plot.

Although, currently you can't do --output filename.html, so I think I will add that in for the plotly backend.

The second case would be really useful to add, I think! You can't beat the interactiveness :)

Ok, this has been added. Once you have finished your review I will push a new version with this feature.
