# hide_features

Hide the visual of features.

Only the drawing is affected: the shapes the features sit on stay
visible and the features keep their effect in the analysis. Visibility
is model-wide, so it applies to every stage of the model.

## Parameters

<dl>
<dt>features : Feature | list[Feature] | None</dt>
<dd>Features to hide.</dd>
</dl>

## Raises

<dl>
<dt>TypeError</dt>
<dd>If features is not a Feature or a list/tuple of Features (e.g. a Shape or ShapeList). None is accepted and does nothing.</dd>
</dl>
