        ----------
        *args
            Dictionaries of `rc` keys and values.
        file : path-like, optional
            Filename from which settings should be loaded.
        **kwargs

        Other parameters
        ----------------
        mode : {0, 1, 2}, optional
            The context mode. Dictates the behavior of `~Configurator.find`,
            `~Configurator.fill`, and `~Configurator.category` within a
            "with as" block when called with ``context=True``.

            The options are as follows:

            * ``mode=0``: Matplotlib's `rc_matplotlib` settings
              and proplot's `rc_proplot` settings are all returned,
              whether or not they are local to the "with as" block.
            * ``mode=1``: Matplotlib's `rc_matplotlib` settings are only
              returned if they are local to the "with as" block. For example,
              if :rcraw:`axes.titlesize` was passed to `~Configurator.context`,
              then ``pplt.rc.find('axes.titlesize', context=True)`` will return
              this value, but ``pplt.rc.find('axes.titleweight', context=True)`` will
              return ``None``. This is used internally when instantiating axes.
            * ``mode=2``: Matplotlib's `rc_matplotlib` settings and proplot's
              `rc_proplot` settings are only returned if they are local to the
              "with as" block. This is used internally when formatting axes.

        Note
        ----
        Context "modes" are primarily used internally but may also be useful for power
        users. Mode ``1`` is used when `~proplot.axes.Axes.format` is called during
        axes instantiation, and mode ``2`` is used when `~proplot.axes.Axes.format`
        is manually called by users. The latter prevents successive calls to
        `~proplot.axes.Axes.format` from constantly looking up and re-applying
        unchanged settings and significantly increasing the runtime.

        Example
        -------
        The below applies settings to axes in a specific figure using
        `~Configurator.context`.

        >>> import proplot as pplt

        >>>     fig, ax = pplt.subplots()
        >>>     ax.plot(data)

        The below applies settings to a specific axes using
        `~proplot.axes.Axes.format`, which uses `~Configurator.context`
        internally.

        >>> import proplot as pplt
        >>> fig, ax = pplt.subplots()
        >>> ax.format(ticklen=5, metalinewidth=2)
