        Draw the element profile plot for a composition varying different
        chemical potential of an element.
        X value is the negative value of the chemical potential reference to
        elemental chemical potential. For example, if choose Element("Li"),
        X= -(µLi-µLi0), which corresponds to the voltage versus metal anode.
        Y values represent for the number of element uptake in this composition
        (unit: per atom). All reactions are printed to help choosing the
        profile steps you want to show label in the plot.

        Args:
         element (Element): An element of which the chemical potential is
            considered. It also must be in the phase diagram.
         comp (Composition): A composition.
         show_label_index (list of integers): The labels for reaction products
            you want to show in the plot. Default to None (not showing any
            annotation for reaction products). For the profile steps you want
            to show the labels, just add it to the show_label_index. The
            profile step counts from zero. For example, you can set
            show_label_index=[0, 2, 5] to label profile step 0,2,5.
         xlim (float): The max x value. x value is from 0 to xlim. Default to
            5 eV.
