the question (I guess) is: is it legal in xarray to use a non-linked coordinate name as argument for a plot? For example @jamesp wants to plot the following DataArray:

python <xarray.DataArray 'temperature' (time: 3, x: 5)> ... Coordinates: * x (x) int64 1 2 3 4 5 * time (time) int64 1 2 3 r int64 2 rtime (time) float64 0.5 1.0 1.5

By doing:

python .plot(x='x', y='rtime');

instead of the more conventional:

python .plot(x='x', y='time');

The dimension is still time but the coordinates of the plot (for the axis) is rtime. It works if you don't change the order of the dims, but it does not work if you do (hence the transpose in my workaround).
