        Parameters
        ----------
        x : string, optional
            Field name(s) to draw x-positions from. If not specified, the index is
            used. Can refer to continuous and categorical data.
        y : string or list, optional
            Field name(s) to draw y-positions from. If not specified, all numerical
            fields are used.
        by : string, optional
            A single column or list of columns to group by. All the subgroups are visualized.
        groupby: string, list, optional
            A single field or list of fields to group and filter by. Adds one or more widgets to
            select the subgroup(s) to visualize.
        color : str or array-like, optional.
            The color for each of the series. Possible values are:

            A single color string referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code, for instance 'red' or
            '#a98d19.

            A sequence of color strings referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code, which will be used
            for each series recursively. For instance ['green','yellow'] each field’s line will be
            filled in green or yellow, alternatively. If there is only a single series to be
            plotted, then only the first color from the color list will be used.
        **kwds : optional
            Additional keywords arguments are documented in :ref:`plot-options`.
            Run ``hvplot.help('line')`` for the full method documentation.

        Returns
        -------
        :class:`holoviews:holoviews.element.Curve` / Panel object
            You can `print` the object to study its composition and run:

            .. code-block::

                import holoviews as hv
                hv.help(the_holoviews_object)

            to learn more about its parameters and options.
