#12 Shared time axes in plots

[Christoph Buchner]

It would be great if, in subplots, the time axes were shared by default, using the sharex kwarg, then all the x-axes would zoom together if zooming in one area, which I figures is what you typically want when examining results.

I already tried to to this with a quick fix, but it turns out that the plotting code should be switched to the pyplot object-oriented interface (i.e. using figure objects), and this was too complex for me. Probably easier for someone familiar with the code.

Relevant code in data_reporters.py L468:

fig, _ = plt.subplots(rows, cols, sharex=True)
for i, arg in enumerate(args):
    '''Loop over arguments: some are variables (each one gets its
    own subplot) and some are lists of variables, these vars
    will share a plot.'''
    axes = fig.add_subplot(rows, cols, i+1)
