enhance docstring with code examples

most pytorch modules come with nice examples in the docstring. for example, the docstring of torch.nn.modules.Conv1d has this block:

    Examples::
        >>> m = nn.Conv1d(16, 33, 3, stride=2)
        >>> input = torch.randn(20, 16, 50)
        >>> output = m(input)

these are also available in the autogenerated documentation site:

MONAI’s modules should also include such intuitive examples.

(currently It’s been done for only a few classes, e.g.: https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI/blob/master/monai/transforms/croppad/array.py#L164-L176)

Describe the solution you’d like I understand it’ll be difficult to enforce this feature for all modules. but once it’s there it’ll greatly improve usability. this feature request will probably require multiple PRs.

as a starting point, we could extract some examples from the existing unit tests.

@wyli I was planning to have my team work on some of this as we work through using MONAI on our projects. It is a next item after type hinting is in better shape.

Hi @wyli, I would like to work on this. is it open for anyone to contribute?

yes, it is, please feel free to create PRs (there’s a contributing.md in case you haven’t read it)
