A graph of multiple time series that demonstrates custom styling of plot frame,
tick lines, tick labels, and line graph properties. It also uses custom
placement of text labels along the right edge as an alternative to a
conventional legend.

Note: The third-party mpl style dufte_ produces similar-looking plots with less
code.
