Description

Some files may have different `.starting_time` values for their TimeSeries data. When these time series are added to the same plot, they end up offset. Having the option to align the data might be helpful in some cases.

Research direction

Start by locating the plotting entry point and the handling of TimeSeries.starting_time, then reproduce the offset with the linked NWB file. Done means an optional alignment mode makes traces with different starting times line up while preserving the current behavior by default.
