Plot forecasts and insample values.

	Type	Default	Details
df	Optional	None	DataFrame with columns [id_col, time_col, target_col].
forecasts_df	Optional	None	DataFrame with columns [id_col, time_col] and models.
ids	Optional	None	Time Series to plot. If None, time series are selected randomly.
plot_random	bool	True	Select time series to plot randomly.
max_ids	int	8	Maximum number of ids to plot.
models	Optional	None	Models to plot.
level	Optional	None	Prediction intervals to plot.
max_insample_length	Optional	None	Maximum number of train/insample observations to be plotted.
plot_anomalies	bool	False	Plot anomalies for each prediction interval.
engine	str	matplotlib	Library used to plot. ‘plotly’, ‘plotly-resampler’ or ‘matplotlib’.
palette	Optional	None	Name of the matplotlib colormap to use for the plots. If None, uses the current style.
id_col	str	unique_id	Column that identifies each serie.
time_col	str	ds	Column that identifies each timestep, its values can be timestamps or integers.
target_col	str	y	Column that contains the target.
seed	int	0	Seed used for the random number generator. Only used if plot_random is True.
resampler_kwargs	Optional	None	Keyword arguments to be passed to plotly-resampler constructor. For further custumization (“show_dash”) call the method, store the plotting object and add the extra arguments to its show_dash method.
ax	Union	None	Object where plots will be added.
Returns	matplotlib or plotly figure		Plot’s figure
