    Args:
        images: array of images to be plotted
        axes: optional axes array to be used. If this is passed, rows and cols
              are ignored
        width: the width of the plot to be passed to plt.figure(...)
        cmap: the cmap to be passed to plt.imshow()
        rows: the number of rows of images. If not passed, will try to
              automatically determine, but may leave some images out
        cols: the number of columns of images. If not passed, will default
              to 8 unless rows is passed, in which case it will automatically
              determine the best number (but may leave some images out)
