Description:
 def draw_instances(self, X, y, **kwargs):
 """ Draw the instances colored by the target y such that each line is a single instance. This is the "slow" mode of drawing, since each instance has to be drawn individually. However, in so doing, the density of instances in braids is more apparent since lines have an independent alpha that is compounded in the figure. This is the default method of drawing. Parameters X : ndarray of shape n x m A matrix of n instances with m features y : ndarray of length n An array or series of target or class values Notes ----- This method can be used to draw additional instances onto the parallel coordinates before the figure is finalized.
