• ‘box’ : boxplot
• ‘kde’ : Kernel Density Estimation plot
• ‘density’ : same as ‘kde’
• ‘area’ : area plot
• ‘pie’ : pie plot
• ‘scatter’ : scatter plot
• ‘hexbin’ : hexbin plot

ax : matplotlib axes object, default None

subplots : boolean, default False

Make separate subplots for each column

sharex : boolean, default True

sharey : boolean, default False

In case subplots=True, share y axis

layout : tuple (optional)

(rows, columns) for the layout of subplots

figsize : a tuple (width, height) in inches

use_index : boolean, default True

Use index as ticks for x axis

title : string

Title to use for the plot

grid : boolean, default None (matlab style default)

Axis grid lines

legend : False/True/’reverse’

Place legend on axis subplots

style : list or dict

matplotlib line style per column

logx : boolean, default False

Use log scaling on x axis

logy : boolean, default False

Use log scaling on y axis

loglog : boolean, default False

Use log scaling on both x and y axes

xticks : sequence

Values to use for the xticks

yticks : sequence

Values to use for the yticks

xlim : 2-tuple/list

ylim : 2-tuple/list

rot : int, default None

Rotation for ticks

fontsize : int, default None

Font size for ticks

colormap : str or matplotlib colormap object, default None

Colormap to select colors from. If string, load colormap with that name from matplotlib.

colorbar : boolean, optional

If True, plot colorbar (only relevant for ‘scatter’ and ‘hexbin’ plots)

position : float

Specify relative alignments for bar plot layout. From 0 (left/bottom-end) to 1 (right/top-end). Default is 0.5 (center)

layout : tuple (optional)

(rows, columns) for the layout of the plot

table : boolean, Series or DataFrame, default False

If True, draw a table using the data in the DataFrame and the data will be transposed to meet matplotlib’s default layout. If a Series or DataFrame is passed, use passed data to draw a table.

yerr : DataFrame, Series, array-like, dict and str

xerr : same types as yerr.

stacked : boolean, default False in line and

bar plots, and True in area plot. If True, create stacked plot.

sort_columns : boolean, default False

Sort column names to determine plot ordering

secondary_y : boolean or sequence, default False

Whether to plot on the secondary y-axis If a list/tuple, which columns to plot on secondary y-axis
