plot_growth_attr(DT, LT, attr, unit = "", cells = "all", Nframes,
  save = FALSE, savePars = list(w = 2500, h = 2000, res = 300, path =
  getwd(), name = "my_growth_attr"))

`DT`	The division tree where the cells specified in `cells` belong, an object of class `"igraph"`.
`LT`	The corresponding lineage tree of the `DT`, an object of class `"igraph"`.
`attr`	The name of the attribute in the `LT`, a character string. It can be any numeric attribute, as returned from `get_attr_names`, except for `"colony"`, `"generation"`, `"frame"` and `"age"`.
`unit`	The unit of `attr`, a character string. It should be in the format `"<string>,<number>"`, where `",<number>"` represents the power and is optional (e.g. `"m"` for meters and `"cm,3"` for cubic centimeters). The default value is the empty character `""`, which implies that `attr` is in arbitrary units.
`cells`	The labels of the cells in the `DT` whose growth curve will be plotted, a vector of character strings. They can be any cells that are included in the analysis, as returned from `get_cells`. The default value `"all"` stands for all cells in the `DT`.
`Nframes`	Number of frames in the movie, a non-zero positive integer value.
`save`	A logical value (`TRUE` or `FALSE`) indicating whether the generated plot will be saved in a `.png` file or displayed in the Plots Pane of RStudio, respectively. The default value is `FALSE`.
`savePars`	A named list specifying the parameters of the generated image file. This argument is ignored in case `save = FALSE`. Elements of the list are the following: `w` The width of the image file in pixels, a non-zero positive integer value. The default value is `2500`. `h` The height of the image file in pixels, a non-zero positive integer value. The default value is `2000`. `res` The resolution of the image file in pixels per inch (ppi), a non-zero positive integer value. The smaller this value, the larger the plot area in inches, and the smaller the text relative to the graph itself. The default value is `300`. `path` A character string naming the directory where the image file will be saved (excluding the last `"/"`). If it does not contain an absolute path, the image file will be saved relative to the current working directory `getwd()`. The default value is the current working directory `getwd()`. NOTE: The components should be separated by `"/"` on Windows. `name` The image file name, a character string. The suffix `".png"` is added automatically. The default value is `"my_growth_attr"`.

A common plot for all cells specified in cells is generated.

x-axis represents the time in frames, from the start (value 1) to end of the movie (value Nframes).

Each single-cell growth curve is randomly colored.
