r"""
Plots airmass as a function of time for a given target.
If a `~matplotlib.axes.Axes` object already exists, an additional
airmass plot will be "stacked" on it. Otherwise, creates a new
`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` object and plots airmass on top of that.
When a scalar `~astropy.time.Time` object is passed in (e.g.,
``Time('2000-1-1')``), the resulting plot will use a 24-hour window
centered on the time indicated, with airmass sampled at regular
intervals throughout.
However, the user can control the exact number and frequency of airmass
calculations used by passing in a non-scalar `~astropy.time.Time`
object. For instance, ``Time(['2000-1-1 23:00:00', '2000-1-1
23:30:00'])`` will result in a plot with only two airmass measurements.
For examples with plots, visit the documentation of
:ref:`plots_time_dependent`.
Parameters
----------
targets : list of `~astroplan.FixedTarget` objects
The celestial bodies of interest.
If a single object is passed it will be converted to a list.
observer : `~astroplan.Observer`
The person, telescope, observatory, etc. doing the observing.
time : `~astropy.time.Time`
If scalar (e.g., ``Time('2000-1-1')``), will result in plotting target
airmasses once an hour over a 24-hour window.
If non-scalar (e.g., ``Time(['2000-1-1'])``, ``[Time('2000-1-1')]``,
``Time(['2000-1-1', '2000-1-2'])``),
will result in plotting data at the exact times specified.
ax : `~matplotlib.axes.Axes` or None, optional.
The `~matplotlib.axes.Axes` object to be drawn on.
If None, uses the current ``Axes``.
style_kwargs : dict or None, optional.
A dictionary of keywords passed into `~matplotlib.pyplot.plot_date`
to set plotting styles.
style_sheet : dict or `None` (optional)
matplotlib style sheet to use. To see available style sheets in
astroplan, print *astroplan.plots.available_style_sheets*. Defaults
to the light theme.
brightness_shading : bool
Shade background of plot to scale roughly with sky brightness. Dark
shading signifies times when the sun is below the horizon. Default
is `False`.
altitude_yaxis : bool
Add alternative y-axis on the right side of the figure with target
altitude. Default is `False`.
min_airmass : float
Lower limit of y-axis airmass range in the plot. Default is ``1.0``.
max_airmass : float
Upper limit of y-axis airmass range in the plot. Default is ``3.0``.
min_region : float
If set, defines an interval between ``min_airmass`` and ``min_region``
that will be shaded. Default is `None`.
max_region : float
If set, defines an interval between ``max_airmass`` and ``max_region``
that will be shaded. Default is `None`.
use_local_tz : bool
If the time is specified in a local timezone, the time will be plotted
in that timezone.
Returns
-------
ax : `~matplotlib.axes.Axes`
An ``Axes`` object with added airmass vs. time plot.
Notes
-----
y-axis is inverted and shows airmasses between 1.0 and 3.0 by default.
If user wishes to change these, use ``ax.<set attribute>`` before drawing
or saving plot:
