Description

Hi,

I would like to have the legend when I display the 'kde' (also called 'dentity') of a DataFrame. The plot method works well with the other kind options (i.e. bar, barh and line).

Following piece of code:

import numpy as np import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame({'X': np.random.randn(500), 'Y': 2. + np.random.randn(500)*0.75})

then

df.plot(kind='kde')

does not display the legend for X and Y (even if I set legend=True which is the default value of the legend parameter). Note: I'm on master > 0.12rc1

Best regards,
Damien
