basic_tutorial.ipynb: Might consider adding that each color in figure output from bayes_spec.plots.plot_traces() represents a different cloud model? #65

This is an educated guess but does each color in the figure output of bayes_spec.plots.plot_traces() represent the parameters of a different cloud model (e.g. green for one cloud model, blue for another cloud model, orange for the third cloud model in the screenshot below)? Might be helpful in basic_tutorial.ipynb to indicate this if this is the case.

Thanks for the suggestion! Indeed, each color corresponds to a different component of the parameter. For the cloud-based parameters (line_area, fwhm, velocity), each color represents a different cloud. For the baseline parameter, however, each color corresponds to a different polynomial coefficient (of which there are three when baseline_degree = 2).
