#' @title Plot Simulated Data and Target External Data for Continuous or Count Variables
#'
#' @description This plots simulated continuous or count data and overlays external data, both as histograms.
#'     The external data is a required input.  The simulated data is centered and scaled to have the same mean and variance as the external
#'     data set.  If the user wants to only plot simulated data, \code{\link[SimMultiCorrData]{plot_sim_theory}} should be used instead
#'     with \code{overlay = FALSE}.
#'     It returns a \code{\link[ggplot2]{ggplot2-package}} object so the user can modify as necessary.
#'     The graph parameters (i.e. \code{title}, \code{power_color}, \code{target_color}, \code{nbins}) are
#'     \code{\link[ggplot2]{ggplot2-package}} parameters.  It works for valid or invalid power method pdfs.
#' @param sim_y a vector of simulated data
#' @param title the title for the graph (default = "Simulated Data Values")
#' @param ylower the lower y value to use in the plot (default = NULL, uses minimum simulated y value)
#' @param yupper the upper y value (default = NULL, uses maximum simulated y value)
#' @param power_color the histogram fill color for the simulated variable (default = "dark blue")
#' @param ext_y a vector of external data (required)
#' @param target_color the histogram fill color for the target data (default = "dark green")
#' @param nbins the number of bins to use in generating the histograms (default = 100)
#' @param legend.position the position of the legend
#' @param legend.justification the justification of the legend
#' @param legend.text.size the size of the legend labels
#' @param title.text.size the size of the plot title
#' @param axis.text.size the size of the axes text (tick labels)
#' @param axis.title.size the size of the axes titles
