    Subplot individual channels of signals and/or annotations.

    Parameters
    ----------
    signal : 1d or 2d numpy array, optional
        The uniformly sampled signal to be plotted. If signal.ndim is 1, it is
        assumed to be a one channel signal. If it is 2, axes 0 and 1, must
        represent time and channel number respectively.
    ann_samp: list, optional
        A list of annotation locations to plot, with each list item
        corresponding to a different channel. List items may be:

        - 1d numpy array, with values representing sample indices. Empty
          arrays are skipped.
        - list, with values representing sample indices. Empty lists
          are skipped.
        - None. For channels in which nothing is to be plotted.

        If `signal` is defined, the annotation locations will be overlaid on
        the signals, with the list index corresponding to the signal channel.
        The length of `annotation` does not have to match the number of
        channels of `signal`.
    ann_sym: list, optional
        A list of annotation symbols to plot, with each list item
        corresponding to a different channel. List items should be lists of
        strings. The symbols are plotted over the corresponding `ann_samp`
        index locations.
    fs : int or float, optional
        The sampling frequency of the signals and/or annotations. Used to
        calculate time intervals if `time_units` is not 'samples'. Also
        required for plotting ecg grids.
    time_units : str, optional
        The x axis unit. Allowed options are: 'samples', 'seconds', 'minutes',
        and 'hours'.
    sig_name : list, optional
        A list of strings specifying the signal names. Used with `sig_units`
        to form y labels, if `ylabel` is not set.
    sig_units : list, optional
        A list of strings specifying the units of each signal channel. Used
        with `sig_name` to form y labels, if `ylabel` is not set. This
        parameter is required for plotting ecg grids.
    ylabel : list, optional
        A list of strings specifying the final y labels. If this option is
        present, `sig_name` and `sig_units` will not be used for labels.
    title : str, optional
        The title of the graph.
    sig_style : list, optional
        A list of strings, specifying the style of the matplotlib plot
        for each signal channel. The list length should match the number
        of signal channels. If the list has a length of 1, the style
        will be used for all channels.
    ann_style : list, optional
        A list of strings, specifying the style of the matplotlib plot for each
        annotation channel. If the list has a length of 1, the style will be
        used for all channels.
    ecg_grids : list, optional
        A list of integers specifying channels in which to plot ecg grids. May
        also be set to 'all' for all channels. Major grids at 0.5mV, and minor
        grids at 0.125mV. All channels to be plotted with grids must have
        `sig_units` equal to 'uV', 'mV', or 'V'.
    figsize : tuple, optional
        Tuple pair specifying the width, and height of the figure. It is the
        'figsize' argument passed into matplotlib.pyplot's `figure` function.
    return_fig : bool, optional
        Whether the figure is to be returned as an output argument.

    Returns
    -------
    figure : matplotlib figure, optional
        The matplotlib figure generated. Only returned if the 'return_fig'
        parameter is set to True.

    Examples
    --------
