Hi Nathan, 

thanks a lot! It works perfectly.

I am happy to contribute at some point in the future. Currently, other things keep me busy. However, I am going to file an issue so that you have it on the record.

Regards,

It's a dictionary because you are allowed to pass more than one y field to ProfilePlot, which will make more than one plot. You might take a look at plot.axes.keys() to see what I mean.
