Description
Hello!
First of all, thank you, Daniel, and contributors for this great library. Works like a charm!
I like the concise default style of the graphs produced very much. However, I was wondering, is it possible to plot arbitrary data without prices? Usecase: for example, I wanna compare P/E ratios over time for 10 different companies. I'm not really interested in share price movement for this, but I'd still like to reuse the mplfinance's concise visual style, and not to recreate it manually with matplotlib. (needless to say, the type becomes irrelevant in this case, maybe other things as well).
Sorry for the newbie question, and best regards.

Research direction
Start by reviewing mplfinance's existing plotting entry points and the assumptions that require OHLC or price data. Done means arbitrary time-series data, such as P/E ratios for multiple companies, can use the library's concise visual style without requiring irrelevant price fields or plot types.
