    Parameters
    ----------
    data : `~syncopy.AnalogData`
        A non-empty Syncopy :class:`~syncopy.datatype.AnalogData` object
    method : str
        Spectral estimation method, one of :data:`~syncopy.specest.const_def.availableMethods`
        (see below).
    output : str
        Output of spectral estimation. One of :data:`~syncopy.specest.const_def.availableOutputs` (see below);
        use `'pow'` for power spectrum (:obj:`numpy.float32`), `'fourier'` for complex
        Fourier coefficients (:obj:`numpy.complex64`) or `'abs'` for absolute
        values (:obj:`numpy.float32`).
    keeptrials : bool
        If `True` spectral estimates of individual trials are returned, otherwise
        results are averaged across trials.
    foi : array-like or None
        Frequencies of interest (Hz) for output. If desired frequencies cannot be
        matched exactly, the closest possible frequencies are used. If `foi` is `None`
        or ``foi = "all"``, all attainable frequencies (i.e., zero to Nyquist / 2)
        are selected.
    foilim : array-like (floats [fmin, fmax]) or None or "all"
        Frequency-window ``[fmin, fmax]`` (in Hz) of interest. Window
        specifications must be sorted (e.g., ``[90, 70]`` is invalid) and not NaN
        but may be unbounded (e.g., ``[-np.inf, 60.5]`` is valid). Edges `fmin`
        and `fmax` are included in the selection. If `foilim` is `None` or
        ``foilim = "all"``, all frequencies are selected.
    pad_to_length : int, None or 'nextpow2'
        Padding of the input data, if set to a number pads all trials
        to this absolute length. For instance ``pad_to_length = 2000`` pads all
        trials to an absolute length of 2000 samples, if and only if the longest
        trial contains at maximum 2000 samples.
        Alternatively if all trials have the same initial lengths
        setting `pad_to_length='nextpow2'` pads all trials to
        the next power of two.
        If `None` and trials have unequal lengths all trials are padded to match
        the longest trial.
    polyremoval : int or None
        Order of polynomial used for de-trending data in the time domain prior
        to spectral analysis. A value of 0 corresponds to subtracting the mean
        ("de-meaning"), ``polyremoval = 1`` removes linear trends (subtracting the
        least squares fit of a linear polynomial).
        If `polyremoval` is `None`, no de-trending is performed. Note that
        for spectral estimation de-meaning is very advisable and hence also the
        default.
    taper : str
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'`. Windowing function,
        one of :data:`~syncopy.specest.const_def.availableTapers` (see below).
    tapsmofrq : float
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'` and `taper` is `'dpss'`.
        The amount of spectral smoothing through  multi-tapering (Hz).
        Note that smoothing frequency specifications are one-sided,
        i.e., 4 Hz smoothing means plus-minus 4 Hz, i.e., a 8 Hz smoothing box.
    nTaper : int or None
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'` and `taper='dpss'`.
        Number of orthogonal tapers to use. It is not recommended to set the number
        of tapers manually! Leave at `None` for the optimal number to be set automatically.
    keeptapers : bool
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'`.
        If `True`, return spectral estimates for each taper.
        Otherwise power spectrum is averaged across tapers,
        if and only if `output` is `pow`.
    toi : float or array-like or "all"
        **Mandatory input** for time-frequency analysis methods (`method` is either
        `"mtmconvol"` or `"wavelet"` or `"superlet"`).
        If `toi` is scalar, it must be a value between 0 and 1 indicating the
        percentage of overlap between time-windows specified by `t_ftimwin` (only
        valid if `method` is `'mtmconvol'`).
        If `toi` is an array it explicitly selects the centroids of analysis
        windows (in seconds), if `toi` is `"all"`, analysis windows are centered
        on all samples in the data for `method="mtmconvol"`. For wavelet based
        methods (`"wavelet"` or `"superlet"`) toi needs to be either an
        equidistant array of time points or "all".
    t_ftimwin : positive float
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmconvol'`. Sliding window length (in seconds).
    wavelet : str
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'`. Wavelet function to use, one of
        :data:`~syncopy.specest.const_def.availableWavelets` (see below).
    width : positive float
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'` and `wavelet` is `'Morlet'`. Nondimensional
        frequency constant of Morlet wavelet function. This number should be >= 6,
        which corresponds to 6 cycles within the analysis window to ensure sufficient
        spectral sampling.
    order : positive int
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'` and `wavelet` is `'Paul'` or `'DOG'`. Order
        of the wavelet function. If `wavelet` is `'Paul'`, `order` should be chosen
        >= 4 to ensure that the analysis window contains at least a single oscillation.
        At an order of 40, the Paul wavelet  exhibits about the same number of cycles
        as the Morlet wavelet with a `width` of 6.
        All other supported wavelets functions are *real-valued* derivatives of
        Gaussians (DOGs). Hence, if `wavelet` is `'DOG'`, `order` represents the derivative order.
        The special case of a second order DOG yields a function known as "Mexican Hat",
        "Marr" or "Ricker" wavelet, which can be selected alternatively by setting
        `wavelet` to `'Mexican_hat'`, `'Marr'` or `'Ricker'`. **Note**: A real-valued
        wavelet function encodes *only* information about peaks and discontinuities
        in the signal and does *not* provide any information about amplitude or phase.
    order_max : int
        Only valid if `method` is `'superlet'`.
        Maximal order of the superlet set. Controls the maximum
        number of cycles within a SL together
        with the `c_1` parameter: c_max = c_1 * order_max
    order_min : int
        Only valid if `method` is `'superlet'`.
        Minimal order of the superlet set. Controls
        the minimal number of cycles within a SL together
        with the `c_1` parameter: c_min = c_1 * order_min
        Note that for admissability reasons c_min should be at least 3!
    c_1 : int
        Only valid if `method` is `'superlet'`.
        Number of cycles of the base Morlet wavelet. If set to lower
        than 3 increase `order_min` as to never have less than 3 cycles
        in a wavelet!
    adaptive : bool
        Only valid if `method` is `'superlet'`.
        Wether to perform multiplicative SLT or fractional adaptive SLT.
        If set to True, the order of the wavelet set will increase
        linearly with the frequencies of interest from `order_min`
        to `order_max`. If set to False the same SL will be used for
        all frequencies.
    out : None or :class:`SpectralData` object
        None if a new :class:`SpectralData` object is to be created, or an empty :class:`SpectralData` object

    Perform connectivity analysis of Syncopy :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` objects

    **Usage Summary**

    Options available in all analysis methods:

    * **foi**/**foilim** : frequencies of interest; either array of frequencies or
      frequency window (not both)
    * **polyremoval** : de-trending method to use (0 = mean, 1 = linear or `None`)

    List of available analysis methods and respective distinct options:

    "coh" : (Multi-) tapered coherency estimate
        Compute the normalized cross spectral densities
        between all channel combinations

        * **output** : one of ('abs', 'pow', 'fourier')
        * **taper** : one of :data:`~syncopy.shared.const_def.availableTapers`
        * **tapsmofrq** : spectral smoothing box for slepian tapers (in Hz)
        * **nTaper** : (optional) number of orthogonal tapers for slepian tapers
        * **pad_to_length**: either pad to an absolute length or set to `'nextpow2'`

    "corr" : Cross-correlations
        Computes the one sided (positive lags) cross-correlations
        between all channel combinations. The maximal lag is half
        the trial lengths.

        * **keeptrials** : set to `True` for single trial cross-correlations

    "granger" : Spectral Granger-Geweke causality
        Computes linear causality estimates between
        all channel combinations. The intermediate cross-spectral
        densities can be computed via multi-tapering.

        * **taper** : one of :data:`~syncopy.shared.const_def.availableTapers`
        * **tapsmofrq** : spectral smoothing box for slepian tapers (in Hz)
        * **nTaper** : (optional, not recommended) number of slepian tapers
        * **pad_to_length**: either pad to an absolute length or set to `'nextpow2'`

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : `~syncopy.AnalogData`
        A non-empty Syncopy :class:`~syncopy.datatype.AnalogData` object
    method : str
        Connectivity estimation method, one of 'coh', 'corr', 'granger'
    output : str
        Relevant for cross-spectral density estimation (`method='coh'`)
        Use `'pow'` for absolute squared coherence, `'abs'` for absolute value of coherence
        and`'fourier'` for the complex valued coherency.
    keeptrials : bool
        Relevant for cross-correlations (`method='corr'`).
        If `True` single-trial cross-correlations are returned.
    foi : array-like or None
        Frequencies of interest (Hz) for output. If desired frequencies cannot be
        matched exactly, the closest possible frequencies are used. If `foi` is `None`
        or ``foi = "all"``, all attainable frequencies (i.e., zero to Nyquist / 2)
        are selected.
    foilim : array-like (floats [fmin, fmax]) or None or "all"
        Frequency-window ``[fmin, fmax]`` (in Hz) of interest. The
        `foi` array will be constructed in 1Hz steps from `fmin` to
        `fmax` (inclusive).
    pad_to_length : int, None or 'nextpow2'
        Padding of the (tapered) signal, if set to a number pads all trials
        to this absolute length. E.g. `pad_to_length=2000` pads all
        trials to 2000 samples, if and only if the longest trial is
        at maximum 2000 samples.

        Alternatively if all trials have the same initial lengths
        setting `pad_to_length='nextpow2'` pads all trials to
        the next power of two.
        If `None` and trials have unequal lengths all trials are padded to match
        the longest trial.
    taper : str
        Only valid if `method` is `'coh'` or `'granger'`. Windowing function,
        one of :data:`~syncopy.specest.const_def.availableTapers`
    tapsmofrq : float
        Only valid if `method` is `'coh'` or `'granger'` and `taper` is `'dpss'`.
        The amount of spectral smoothing through  multi-tapering (Hz).
        Note that smoothing frequency specifications are one-sided,
        i.e., 4 Hz smoothing means plus-minus 4 Hz, i.e., a 8 Hz smoothing box.
    nTaper : int or None
        Only valid if `method` is `'coh'` or `'granger'` and ``taper = 'dpss'``.
        Number of orthogonal tapers to use. It is not recommended to set the number
        of tapers manually! Leave at `None` for the optimal number to be set automatically.

    Perform (time-)frequency analysis of Syncopy :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` objects
    
    **Usage Summary**
    
    Options available in all analysis methods:
    
    * **output** : one of :data:`~.availableOutputs`; return power spectra, complex 
      Fourier spectra or absolute values. 
    * **foi**/**foilim** : frequencies of interest; either array of frequencies or 
      frequency window (not both)
    * **keeptrials** : return individual trials or grand average
    * **polyremoval** : de-trending method to use (0 = mean, 1 = linear, 2 = quadratic, 
      3 = cubic, etc.)
            
    List of available analysis methods and respective distinct options:
    
    :func:`~syncopy.specest.mtmfft.mtmfft` : (Multi-)tapered Fourier transform
        Perform frequency analysis on time-series trial data using either a single 
        taper window (Hanning) or many tapers based on the discrete prolate 
        spheroidal sequence (DPSS) that maximize energy concentration in the main
        lobe. 
        
        * **taper** : one of :data:`~.availableTapers`
        * **tapsmofrq** : spectral smoothing box for tapers (in Hz)
        * **keeptapers** : return individual tapers or average
        * **pad** : padding method to use (`None`, `True`, `False`, `'absolute'`, 
          `'relative'`, `'maxlen'` or `'nextpow2'`). If `None`, then `'nextpow2'`
          is selected by default. 
        * **padtype** : values to pad data with (`'zero'`, `'nan'`, `'mean'`, `'localmean'`, 
          `'edge'` or `'mirror'`)

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : `~syncopy.AnalogData`
        A non-empty Syncopy :class:`~syncopy.datatype.AnalogData` object
    method : str
        Spectral estimation method, one of :data:`~.availableMethods` 
        (see below).
    output : str
        Output of spectral estimation. One of :data:`~.availableOutputs` (see below); 
        use `'pow'` for power spectrum (:obj:`numpy.float32`), `'fourier'` for complex 
        Fourier coefficients (:obj:`numpy.complex128`) or `'abs'` for absolute 
        values (:obj:`numpy.float32`).
    keeptrials : bool
        If `True` spectral estimates of individual trials are returned, otherwise
        results are averaged across trials. 
    foi : array-like or None
        Frequencies of interest (Hz) for output. If desired frequencies cannot be 
        matched exactly, the closest possible frequencies are used. If `foi` is `None`
        or ``foi = "all"``, all attainable frequencies (i.e., zero to Nyquist / 2) 
        are selected. 
    foilim : array-like (floats [fmin, fmax]) or None or "all"
        Frequency-window ``[fmin, fmax]`` (in Hz) of interest. Window 
        specifications must be sorted (e.g., ``[90, 70]`` is invalid) and not NaN 
        but may be unbounded (e.g., ``[-np.inf, 60.5]`` is valid). Edges `fmin` 
        and `fmax` are included in the selection. If `foilim` is `None` or 
        ``foilim = "all"``, all frequencies are selected. 
    pad : str or None or bool
        One of `None`, `True`, `False`, `'absolute'`, `'relative'`, `'maxlen'` or
        `'nextpow2'`. 
        If `pad` is `None` or ``pad = True``, then method-specific defaults are 
        chosen. Specifically, if `method` is `'mtmfft'` then `pad` is set to 
        `'nextpow2'` so that all trials in `data` are padded to the next power of 
        two higher than the sample-count of the longest (selected) trial in `data`. Conversely, 
        time-frequency analysis methods (`'mtmconvol'` and `'wavelet'`), only perform
        padding if necessary, i.e., if time-window centroids are chosen too close
        to trial boundaries for the entire window to cover available data-points. 
        If `pad` is `False`, then no padding is performed. Then in case of 
        ``method = 'mtmfft'`` all trials have to have approximately the same 
        length (up to the next even sample-count), if ``method = 'mtmconvol'`` or 
        ``method = 'wavelet'``, window-centroids have to keep sufficient
        distance from trial boundaries. For more details on the padding methods 
        `'absolute'`, `'relative'`, `'maxlen'` and `'nextpow2'` see :func:`syncopy.padding`. 
    padtype : str
        Values to be used for padding. Can be `'zero'`, `'nan'`, `'mean'`, 
        `'localmean'`, `'edge'` or `'mirror'`. See :func:`syncopy.padding` for 
        more information.
    padlength : None, bool or positive int
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` and `pad` is `'absolute'` or `'relative'`. 
        Number of samples to pad data with. See :func:`syncopy.padding` for more 
        information.
    prepadlength : None or bool or int
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` and `pad` is `'relative'`. Number of 
        samples to pre-pend to each trial. See :func:`syncopy.padding` for more 
        information.
    postpadlength : None or bool or int
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` and `pad` is `'relative'`. Number of 
        samples to append to each trial. See :func:`syncopy.padding` for more 
        information.
    polyremoval : int or None
        **FIXME: Not implemented yet**
        Order of polynomial used for de-trending data in the time domain prior 
        to spectral analysis. A value of 0 corresponds to subtracting the mean 
        ("de-meaning"), ``polyremoval = 1`` removes linear trends (subtracting the 
        least squares fit of a linear polynomial), ``polyremoval = N`` for `N > 1` 
        subtracts a polynomial of order `N` (``N = 2`` quadratic, ``N = 3`` cubic 
        etc.). If `polyremoval` is `None`, no de-trending is performed. 
    taper : str
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'`. Windowing function, 
        one of :data:`~.availableTapers` (see below).
    tapsmofrq : float
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'`. The amount of spectral 
        smoothing through  multi-tapering (Hz). Note that smoothing frequency 
        specifications are one-sided, i.e., 4 Hz smoothing means plus-minus 4 Hz, 
        i.e., a 8 Hz smoothing box.
    keeptapers : bool
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmfft'` or `'mtmconvol'`. If `True`, return 
        spectral estimates for each taper, otherwise results are averaged across
        tapers. 
    toi : float or array-like or "all"
        **Mandatory input** for time-frequency analysis methods (`method` is either 
        `"mtmconvol"` or `"wavelet"`). 
        If `toi` is scalar, it must be a value between 0 and 1 indicating the 
        percentage of overlap between time-windows specified by `t_ftimwin` (only
        valid if `method` is `'mtmconvol'`, invalid for `'wavelet'`). 
        If `toi` is an array it explicitly selects the centroids of analysis 
        windows (in seconds). If `toi` is `"all"`, analysis windows are centered
        on all samples in the data. 
    t_ftimwin : positive float
        Only valid if `method` is `'mtmconvol'`. Sliding window length (in seconds). 
    wav : str
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'`. Wavelet function to use, one of 
        :data:`~.availableWavelets` (see below).
    width : positive float
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'` and `wav` is `'Morlet'`. Nondimensional 
        frequency constant of Morlet wavelet function. This number should be >= 6, 
        which corresponds to 6 cycles within the analysis window to ensure sufficient 
        spectral sampling. 
    order : positive int
        Only valid if `method` is `'wavelet'` and `wav` is `'Paul'` or `'DOG'`. Order 
        of the wavelet function. If `wav` is `'Paul'`, `order` should be chosen
        >= 4 to ensure that the analysis window contains at least a single oscillation. 
        At an order of 40, the Paul wavelet  exhibits about the same number of cycles 
        as the Morlet wavelet with a `width` of 6. 
        All other supported wavelets functions are *real-valued* derivatives of 
        Gaussians (DOGs). Hence, if `wav` is `'DOG'`, `order` represents the derivative order. 
        The special case of a second order DOG yields a function known as "Mexican Hat", 
        "Marr" or "Ricker" wavelet, which can be selected alternatively by setting
        `wav` to `'Mexican_hat'`, `'Marr'` or `'Ricker'`. **Note**: A real-valued
        wavelet function encodes *only* information about peaks and discontinuities 
        in the signal and does *not* provide any information about amplitude or phase. 
    out : None or :class:`SpectralData` object
        None if a new :class:`SpectralData` object is to be created, or an empty :class:`SpectralData` object

    Create a new Syncopy object from a selection

    **Usage Notice**    
    
    Syncopy offers two modes for selecting data: 
    
    * **in-place** selections mark subsets of a Syncopy data object for processing 
      via a ``select`` dictionary *without* creating a new object
    * **deep-copy** selections copy subsets of a Syncopy data object to keep and 
      preserve in a new object created by :func:`~syncopy.selectdata`
    
    All Syncopy metafunctions, such as :func:`~syncopy.freqanalysis`, support 
    **in-place** data selection via a ``select`` keyword, effectively avoiding
    potentially slow copy operations and saving disk space. The keys accepted 
    by the `select` dictionary are identical to the keyword arguments discussed 
    below. In addition, ``select = "all"`` can be used to select entire object 
    contents. Examples
    
    >>> select = {"toilim" : [-0.25, 0]}
    >>> spy.freqanalysis(data, select=select)
    >>> # or equivalently 
    >>> cfg = spy.get_defaults(spy.freqanalysis)
    >>> cfg.select = select
    >>> spy.freqanalysis(cfg, data)
    
    **Usage Summary**
    
    List of Syncopy data objects and respective valid data selectors:
    
    :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` : trials, channels, toi/toilim
        Examples
        
        >>> spy.selectdata(data, trials=[0, 3, 5], channels=["channel01", "channel02"])
        >>> cfg = spy.StructDict() 
        >>> cfg.trials = [5, 3, 0]; cfg.toilim = [0.25, 0.5]
        >>> spy.selectdata(cfg, data)
        
    :class:`~syncopy.SpectralData` : trials, channels, toi/toilim, foi/foilim, tapers
        Examples
        
        >>> spy.selectdata(data, trials=[0, 3, 5], channels=["channel01", "channel02"])
        >>> cfg = spy.StructDict()
        >>> cfg.foi = [30, 40, 50]; cfg.tapers = slice(2, 4)
        >>> spy.selectdata(cfg, data)
        
    :class:`~syncopy.EventData` : trials, toi/toilim, eventids
        Examples
        
        >>> spy.selectdata(data, toilim=[-1, 2.5], eventids=[0, 1])
        >>> cfg = spy.StructDict()
        >>> cfg.trials = [0, 0, 1, 0]; cfg.eventids = slice(2, None)
        >>> spy.selectdata(cfg, data)
        
    :class:`~syncopy.SpikeData` : trials, toi/toilim, units, channels
        Examples
        
        >>> spy.selectdata(data, toilim=[-1, 2.5], units=range(0, 10))
        >>> cfg = spy.StructDict()
        >>> cfg.toi = [1.25, 3.2]; cfg.trials = [0, 1, 2, 3]
        >>> spy.selectdata(cfg, data)
    
    **Note** Any property that is not specifically accessed via one of the provided
    selectors is taken as is, e.g., ``spy.selectdata(data, trials=[1, 2])``
    selects the entire contents of trials no. 2 and 3, while 
    ``spy.selectdata(data, channels=range(0, 50))`` selects the first 50 channels
    of `data` across all defined trials. Consequently, if no keywords are specified,
    the entire contents of `data` is selected. 
    
    **Full documentation below** 
    
    Parameters
    ----------
    data : Syncopy data object
        A non-empty Syncopy data object. **Note** the type of `data` determines
        which keywords can be used.  Some keywords are only valid for certain 
        types of Syncopy objects, e.g., "freqs" is not a valid selector for an 
        :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` object. 
    trials : list (integers) or None or "all"
        List of integers representing trial numbers to be selected; can include 
        repetitions and need not be sorted (e.g., ``trials = [0, 1, 0, 0, 2]`` 
        is valid) but must be finite and not NaN. If `trials` is `None`, or 
        ``trials = "all"`` all trials are selected. 
    channels : list (integers or strings), slice, range or None or "all"
        Channel-selection; can be a list of channel names (``['channel3', 'channel1']``), 
        a list of channel indices (``[3, 5]``), a slice (``slice(3, 10)``) or 
        range (``range(3, 10)``). Note that following Python conventions, channels 
        are counted starting at zero, and range and slice selections are half-open 
        intervals of the form `[low, high)`, i.e., low is included , high is 
        excluded. Thus, ``channels = [0, 1, 2]`` or ``channels = slice(0, 3)`` 
        selects the first up to (and including) the third channel. Selections can 
        be unsorted and may include repetitions but must match exactly, be finite 
        and not NaN. If `channels` is `None`, or ``channels = "all"`` all channels 
        are selected. 
    toi : list (floats) or None or "all"
        Time-points to be selected (in seconds) in each trial. Timing is expected 
        to be on a by-trial basis (e.g., relative to trigger onsets). Selections 
        can be approximate, unsorted and may include repetitions but must be 
        finite and not NaN. Fuzzy matching is performed for approximate selections 
        (i.e., selected time-points are close but not identical to timing information 
        found in `data`) using a nearest-neighbor search for elements of `toi`. 
        If `toi` is `None` or ``toi = "all"``, the entire time-span in each trial 
        is selected. 
    toilim : list (floats [tmin, tmax]) or None or "all"
        Time-window ``[tmin, tmax]`` (in seconds) to be extracted from each trial. 
        Window specifications must be sorted (e.g., ``[2.2, 1.1]`` is invalid) 
        and not NaN but may be unbounded (e.g., ``[1.1, np.inf]`` is valid). Edges 
        `tmin` and `tmax` are included in the selection. 
        If `toilim` is `None` or ``toilim = "all"``, the entire time-span in each 
        trial is selected. 
    foi : list (floats) or None or "all"
        Frequencies to be selected (in Hz). Selections can be approximate, unsorted 
        and may include repetitions but must be finite and not NaN. Fuzzy matching 
        is performed for approximate selections (i.e., selected frequencies are 
        close but not identical to frequencies found in `data`) using a nearest-
        neighbor search for elements of `foi` in `data.freq`. If `foi` is `None`
        or ``foi = "all"``, all frequencies are selected. 
    foilim : list (floats [fmin, fmax]) or None or "all"
        Frequency-window ``[fmin, fmax]`` (in Hz) to be extracted. Window 
        specifications must be sorted (e.g., ``[90, 70]`` is invalid) and not NaN 
        but may be unbounded (e.g., ``[-np.inf, 60.5]`` is valid). Edges `fmin` 
        and `fmax` are included in the selection. If `foilim` is `None` or 
        ``foilim = "all"``, all frequencies are selected. 
    tapers : list (integers or strings), slice, range or None or "all"
        Taper-selection; can be a list of taper names (``['dpss-win-1', 'dpss-win-3']``), 
        a list of taper indices (``[3, 5]``), a slice (``slice(3, 10)``) or range 
        (``range(3, 10)``). Note that following Python conventions, tapers are 
        counted starting at zero, and range and slice selections are half-open 
        intervals of the form `[low, high)`, i.e., low is included , high is 
        excluded. Thus, ``tapers = [0, 1, 2]`` or ``tapers = slice(0, 3)`` selects 
        the first up to (and including) the third taper. Selections can be unsorted 
        and may include repetitions but must match exactly, be finite and not NaN. 
        If `tapers` is `None` or ``tapers = "all"``, all tapers are selected. 
    units : list (integers or strings), slice, range or None or "all"
        Unit-selection; can be a list of unit names (``['unit10', 'unit3']``), a 
        list of unit indices (``[3, 5]``), a slice (``slice(3, 10)``) or range 
        (``range(3, 10)``). Note that following Python conventions, units are 
        counted starting at zero, and range and slice selections are half-open 
        intervals of the form `[low, high)`, i.e., low is included , high is 
        excluded. Thus, ``units = [0, 1, 2]`` or ``units = slice(0, 3)`` selects 
        the first up to (and including) the third unit. Selections can be unsorted 
        and may include repetitions but must match exactly, be finite and not NaN.
        If `units` is `None` or ``units = "all"``, all units are selected. 
    eventids : list (integers), slice, range or None or "all"
        Event-ID-selection; can be a list of event-id codes (``[2, 0, 1]``), slice 
        (``slice(0, 2)``) or range (``range(0, 2)``). Note that following Python 
        conventions, range and slice selections are half-open intervals of the 
        form `[low, high)`, i.e., low is included , high is excluded. Selections 
        can be unsorted and may include repetitions but must match exactly, be
        finite and not NaN. If `eventids` is `None` or ``eventids = "all"``, all 
        events are selected. 
        
    Returns
    -------
    dataselection : Syncopy data object
        Syncopy data object of the same type as `data` but containing only the 
        subset specified by provided selectors. 
        
    Notes
    -----
    This routine represents a convenience function for creating new Syncopy objects
    based on existing data entities. However, in many situations, the creation 
    of a new object (and thus the allocation of additional disk-space) might not 
    be necessary: all Syncopy metafunctions, such as :func:`~syncopy.freqanalysis`,
    support **in-place** data selection. 
    
    Consider the following example: assume `data` is an :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` 
    object representing 220 trials of LFP recordings containing baseline (between 
    second -0.25 and 0) and stimulus-on data (on the interval [0.25, 0.5]). 
    To compute the baseline spectrum, data-selection does **not**
    have to be performed before calling :func:`~syncopy.freqanalysis` but instead
    can be done in-place:
    
    >>> import syncopy as spy
    >>> cfg = spy.get_defaults(spy.freqanalysis)
    >>> cfg.method = 'mtmfft'
    >>> cfg.taper = 'dpss'
    >>> cfg.output = 'pow'
    >>> cfg.tapsmofrq = 10
    >>> # define baseline/stimulus-on ranges
    >>> baseSelect = {"toilim": [-0.25, 0]}
    >>> stimSelect = {"toilim": [0.25, 0.5]}
    >>> # in-place selection of baseline interval performed by `freqanalysis`
    >>> cfg.select = baseSelect
    >>> baselineSpectrum = spy.freqanalysis(cfg, data)
    >>> # in-place selection of stimulus-on time-frame performed by `freqanalysis`
    >>> cfg.select = stimSelect
    >>> stimonSpectrum = spy.freqanalysis(cfg, data)
    
    Especially for large data-sets, in-place data selection performed by Syncopy's
    metafunctions does not only save disk-space but can significantly increase 
    performance.  
    
    Examples
    --------
    Use :func:`~syncopy.tests.misc.generate_artificial_data` to create a synthetic 
    :class:`syncopy.AnalogData` object. 
    
    >>> from syncopy.tests.misc import generate_artificial_data
    >>> adata = generate_artificial_data(nTrials=10, nChannels=32) 
    
    Assume a hypothetical trial onset at second 2.0 with the first second of each
    trial representing baseline recordings. To extract only the stimulus-on period
    from `adata`, one could use
    
    >>> stimon = spy.selectdata(adata, toilim=[2.0, np.inf])
    
    Note that this is equivalent to
    
    >>> stimon = adata.selectdata(toilim=[2.0, np.inf])

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : Syncopy data object(s)
        One or more non-empty Syncopy data object(s). **Note**: if multiple 
        datasets are provided, they must be all of the same type (e.g., 
        :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData`) and should contain the same or at 
        least comparable channels, trials etc. Consequently, some keywords are 
        only valid for certain types of Syncopy objects, e.g., `foilim` is not a 
        valid plotting-selector for an :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` object. 
    trials : list (integers) or None or "all"
        Trials to average across. Either list of integers representing trial numbers 
        (can include repetitions and need not be sorted), "all" or `None`. If `data`
        is a (series of) :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData` object(s), `trials` may be
        `None`, so that no trial information is used and the raw contents of 
        provided input dataset(s) is plotted (**Warning**: depending on the size 
        of the supplied dataset(s), this might be very memory-intensive). For all
        other Syncopy data objects, `trials` must not be `None`. 
    channels : list (integers or strings), slice, range or "all"
        Channel-selection; can be a list of channel names (``['channel3', 'channel1']``), 
        a list of channel indices (``[3, 5]``), a slice (``slice(3, 10)``) or 
        range (``range(3, 10)``). Selections can be unsorted and may include 
        repetitions. If multiple input objects are provided, `channels` needs to be a
        valid selector for all supplied datasets. 
    tapers : list (integers or strings), slice, range or "all"
        Taper-selection; can be a list of taper names (``['dpss-win-1', 'dpss-win-3']``), 
        a list of taper indices (``[3, 5]``), a slice (``slice(3, 10)``) or range 
        (``range(3, 10)``). Selections can be unsorted and may include repetitions 
        but must match exactly, be finite and not NaN. If multiple input objects 
        are provided, `tapers` needs to be a valid selector for all supplied datasets.
    toilim : list (floats [tmin, tmax]) or None
        Time-window ``[tmin, tmax]`` (in seconds) to be extracted from each trial. 
        Window specifications must be sorted and not NaN but may be unbounded. Boundaries 
        `tmin` and `tmax` are included in the selection. If `toilim` is `None`, 
        the entire time-span in each trial is selected. If multiple input objects 
        are provided, `toilim` needs to be a valid selector for all supplied datasets. 
        **Note** `toilim` is only a valid selector if `trials` is not `None`. 
    foilim : list (floats [fmin, fmax]) or "all"
        Frequency-window ``[fmin, fmax]`` (in Hz) to be extracted from each trial; 
        Window specifications must be sorted and not NaN but may be unbounded. 
        Boundaries `fmin` and `fmax` are included in the selection. If `foilim` 
        is `None` or all frequencies are selected for plotting. If multiple input 
        objects are provided, `foilim` needs to be a valid selector for all supplied 
        datasets.
    avg_channels : bool
        If `True`, plot input dataset(s) averaged across channels specified by
        `channels`. If `False`, no averaging is performed resulting in multiple
        plots, each representing a single channel. 
    avg_tapers : bool
        If `True`, plot :class:`~syncopy.SpectralData` objects averaged across 
        tapers specified by `tapers`. If `False`, no averaging is performed 
        resulting in multiple plots, each representing a single taper. 
    interp : str or None
        Interpolation method used for plotting two-dimensional contour maps 
        such as time-frequency power spectra. To see a list of available 
        interpolation methods use the command ``list(mpl.image._interpd_.keys())``. 
        Please consult the matplotlib documentation for more details. 
        Has no effect on line-plots. 
    cmap : str
        Colormap used for plotting two-dimensional contour maps 
        such as time-frequency power spectra. To see a list of available 
        color-maps use the command ``list(mpl.cm._cmap_registry.keys())``. 
        Pleasee consult the matplotlib documentation for more details. 
        Has no effect on line-plots.
    vmin : float or None
        Lower bound of data-range covered by colormap when plotting two-dimensional 
        contour maps such as time-frequency power spectra. If `vmin` is `None`
        the minimal (absolute) value of the shown dataset is used. When comparing 
        multiple contour maps, all visualizations should use the same `vmin` to 
        ensure quantitative similarity of peak values.   
    vmax : float or None
        Upper bound of data-range covered by colormap when plotting two-dimensional 
        contour maps such as time-frequency power spectra. If `vmax` is `None`
        the maximal (absolute) value of the shown dataset is used. When comparing 
        multiple contour maps, all visualizations should use the same `vmin` to 
        ensure quantitative similarity of peak values.   
    title : str or None
        If `str`, `title` specifies as axis panel-title, if `None`, an auto-generated
        title is used. 
    grid : bool or None
        If `True`, grid-lines are drawn, if `None` or `False` no grid-lines are 
        rendered. 
    overlay : bool
        If `True`, and multiple input objects were provided, supplied datasets are 
        plotted on top of each other (in the order of submission). If a single object 
        was provided, ``overlay = True`` and `fig` is a :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure`, 
        the supplied dataset is overlaid on top of any existing plot(s) in `fig`. 
        **Note 1**: using an existing figure to overlay dataset(s) is only 
        supported for figures created with this routine. 
        **Note 2**: overlay-plotting is *not* supported for time-frequency 
        :class:`~syncopy.SpectralData` objects. 
    fig : matplotlib.figure.Figure or None
        If `None`, new :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure` instance(s) are created
        for provided input dataset(s). If `fig` is a :class:`~matplotlib.figure.Figure`,
        the code attempts to overlay provided input dataset(s) on top of existing
        plots in `fig`. **Note**: overlay-plots are only supported for figures
        generated with this routine. Only a single figure can be provided. Thus,
        in case of multiple input datasets with ``overlay = False``, any supplied
        `fig` is ignored. 
        
    Returns
    -------
    fig : (list of) matplotlib.figure.Figure instance(s)
        Either single figure (single input dataset or multiple input datasets 
        with ``overlay = True``) or list of figures (multiple input datasets
        and ``overlay = False``). 
        
    Notes
    -----
    This function uses `matplotlib <https://matplotlib.org/>`_ to render data 
    visualizations. Thus, usage of Syncopy's plotting capabilities requires 
    a working matplotlib installation. 
    
    The actual rendering is performed by class methods specific to the provided 
    input object types (e.g., :class:`~syncopy.AnalogData`). Thus, 
    :func:`~syncopy.singlepanelplot` is mainly a convenience function and management 
    routine that invokes the appropriate drawing code. 
    
    Data subset selection for plotting is performed using :func:`~syncopy.selectdata`, 
    thus additional in-place data-selection via a `select` keyword is **not** supported. 
        
    Examples
    --------
    Please refer to the respective `singlepanelplot` class methods for detailed usage
    examples specific to the respective Syncopy data object type.
