Description
### What problem does your feature request solve?
Currently, our plotting routines, when used within a python script output to the directory that you have initiated into python, unless you use `os.chdir` beforehand.
### Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to allow the plotting routines to take an argument so that users in python routines, rather than workflow or CLI, can output the plots to where they want.
### Describe alternatives you've considered
See current work around which feels a little bit of a hack.

Research direction
No files, tests, or specific plotting entry points are named. Start by locating the plotting routines and reviewing how they currently choose an output directory, including the os.chdir workaround described in the issue. Done means Python-script users can select the plot output directory without changing the process working directory.
