        Generate Kernel Density Estimate plot using Gaussian kernels.

        In statistics, `kernel density estimation`_ (KDE) is a non-parametric
        way to estimate the probability density function (PDF) of a random
        variable. This function uses Gaussian kernels and includes automatic
        bandwidth determination.

        .. _kernel density estimation:
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

        Parameters
        ----------
        bw_method : str, scalar or callable, optional
            The method used to calculate the estimator bandwidth. This can be
            'scott', 'silverman', a scalar constant or a callable.
            If None (default), 'scott' is used.
            See :class:`scipy.stats.gaussian_kde` for more information.
        ind : NumPy array or integer, optional
            Evaluation points for the estimated PDF. If None (default),
            1000 equally spaced points are used. If `ind` is a NumPy array, the
            KDE is evaluated at the points passed. If `ind` is an integer,
            `ind` number of equally spaced points are used.
        **kwds : optional
            Additional keyword arguments are documented in
            :meth:`pandas.%(this-datatype)s.plot`.

        Returns
        -------
        matplotlib.axes.Axes or numpy.ndarray of them

    Make a box plot from DataFrame columns.

    Make a box-and-whisker plot from DataFrame columns, optionally grouped
    by some other columns. A box plot is a method for graphically depicting
    groups of numerical data through their quartiles.
    The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
    with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
    of box to show the range of the data. The position of the whiskers
    is set by default to `1.5 * IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1)` from the edges of the box.
    Outlier points are those past the end of the whiskers.

    For further details see
    Wikipedia's entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`_.

    Parameters
    ----------
    column : str or list of str, optional
        Column name or list of names, or vector.
        Can be any valid input to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
    by : str or array-like, optional
        Column in the DataFrame to :meth:`pandas.DataFrame.groupby`.
        One box-plot will be done per value of columns in `by`.
    ax : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes, optional
        The matplotlib axes to be used by boxplot.
    fontsize : float or str
        Tick label font size in points or as a string (e.g., `large`).
    rot : int or float, default 0
        The rotation angle of labels (in degrees)
        with respect to the screen coordinate system.
    grid : bool, default True
        Setting this to True will show the grid.
    figsize : A tuple (width, height) in inches
        The size of the figure to create in matplotlib.
    layout : tuple (rows, columns), optional
        For example, (3, 5) will display the subplots
        using 3 columns and 5 rows, starting from the top-left.
    return_type : {'axes', 'dict', 'both'} or None, default 'axes'
        The kind of object to return. The default is ``axes``.

        * 'axes' returns the matplotlib axes the boxplot is drawn on.
        * 'dict' returns a dictionary whose values are the matplotlib
          Lines of the boxplot.
        * 'both' returns a namedtuple with the axes and dict.
        * when grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to
          ``return_type`` is returned.

          If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array
          of axes with the same shape as ``layout`` is returned.
    **kwds
        All other plotting keyword arguments to be passed to
        :func:`matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot`.

    Returns
    -------
    result
        See Notes.

    See Also
    --------
    Series.plot.hist: Make a histogram.
    matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot : Matplotlib equivalent plot.

    Notes
    -----
    The return type depends on the `return_type` parameter:

        * 'axes' : object of class matplotlib.axes.Axes
        * 'dict' : dict of matplotlib.lines.Line2D objects
        * 'both' : a namedtuple with structure (ax, lines)

        For data grouped with ``by``:

        * :class:`~pandas.Series`
        * :class:`~numpy.array` (for ``return_type = None``)
        Return Series or numpy.array.

    Use ``return_type='dict'`` when you want to tweak the appearance
    of the lines after plotting. In this case a dict containing the Lines
    making up the boxes, caps, fliers, medians, and whiskers is returned.

    Examples
    --------

    Boxplots can be created for every column in the dataframe
    by ``df.boxplot()`` or indicating the columns to be used:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> np.random.seed(1234)
        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,4),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3', 'Col4'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])

    Boxplots of variables distributions grouped by the values of a third
    variable can be created using the option ``by``. For instance:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 2),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2'])
        >>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(by='X')

    A list of strings (i.e. ``['X', 'Y']``) can be passed to boxplot
    in order to group the data by combination of the variables in the x-axis:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10,3),
        ...                   columns=['Col1', 'Col2', 'Col3'])
        >>> df['X'] = pd.Series(['A', 'A', 'A', 'A', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'B', 'B', 'B', 'B'])
        >>> df['Y'] = pd.Series(['A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'A',
        ...                      'B', 'A', 'B', 'A', 'B'])
        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by=['X', 'Y'])

    The layout of boxplot can be adjusted giving a tuple to ``layout``:

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                      layout=(2, 1))

    Additional formatting can be done to the boxplot, like suppressing the grid
    (``grid=False``), rotating the labels in the x-axis (i.e. ``rot=45``)
    or changing the fontsize (i.e. ``fontsize=15``):

    .. plot::
        :context: close-figs

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(grid=False, rot=45, fontsize=15)

    The parameter ``return_type`` can be used to select the type of element
    returned by `boxplot`.  When ``return_type='axes'`` is selected,
    the matplotlib axes on which the boxplot is drawn are returned:

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1','Col2'], return_type='axes')
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot'>

    When grouping with ``by``, a Series mapping columns to ``return_type``
    is returned:

        >>> boxplot = df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                      return_type='axes')
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

    If ``return_type`` is `None`, a NumPy array of axes with the same shape
    as ``layout`` is returned:

        >>> boxplot =  df.boxplot(column=['Col1', 'Col2'], by='X',
        ...                       return_type=None)
        >>> type(boxplot)
        <class 'numpy.ndarray'>

    .. _histogram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : DataFrame
        The pandas object holding the data.
    column : string or sequence
        If passed, will be used to limit data to a subset of columns.
    by : object, optional
        If passed, then used to form histograms for separate groups.
    grid : bool, default True
        Whether to show axis grid lines.
    xlabelsize : int, default None
        If specified changes the x-axis label size.
    xrot : float, default None
        Rotation of x axis labels. For example, a value of 90 displays the
        x labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
    ylabelsize : int, default None
        If specified changes the y-axis label size.
    yrot : float, default None
        Rotation of y axis labels. For example, a value of 90 displays the
        y labels rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
    ax : Matplotlib axes object, default None
        The axes to plot the histogram on.
    sharex : bool, default True if ax is None else False
        In case subplots=True, share x axis and set some x axis labels to
        invisible; defaults to True if ax is None otherwise False if an ax
        is passed in.
        Note that passing in both an ax and sharex=True will alter all x axis
        labels for all subplots in a figure.
    sharey : bool, default False
        In case subplots=True, share y axis and set some y axis labels to
        invisible.
    figsize : tuple
        The size in inches of the figure to create. Uses the value in
        `matplotlib.rcParams` by default.
    layout : tuple, optional
        Tuple of (rows, columns) for the layout of the histograms.
    bins : integer or sequence, default 10
        Number of histogram bins to be used. If an integer is given, bins + 1
        bin edges are calculated and returned. If bins is a sequence, gives
        bin edges, including left edge of first bin and right edge of last
        bin. In this case, bins is returned unmodified.

        Make a box plot of the DataFrame columns.

        A box plot is a method for graphically depicting groups of numerical
        data through their quartiles.
        The box extends from the Q1 to Q3 quartile values of the data,
        with a line at the median (Q2). The whiskers extend from the edges
        of box to show the range of the data. The position of the whiskers
        is set by default to 1.5*IQR (IQR = Q3 - Q1) from the edges of the
        box. Outlier points are those past the end of the whiskers.

        For further details see Wikipedia's
        entry for `boxplot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot>`__.

        A consideration when using this chart is that the box and the whiskers
        can overlap, which is very common when plotting small sets of data.

        in under-fitting:

        .. plot::
            :context: close-figs

            >>> ax = df.plot.kde(bw_method=0.3)

        .. plot::
            :context: close-figs

            >>> ax = df.plot.kde(bw_method=3)

        Finally, the `ind` parameter determines the evaluation points for the
        plot of the estimated PDF:

        .. plot::
            :context: close-figs

            >>> ax = df.plot.kde(ind=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6])

    def area(self, x=None, y=None, **kwds):
        """
        Draw a stacked area plot.

        An area plot displays quantitative data visually.
        This function wraps the matplotlib area function.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : label or position, optional
            Coordinates for the X axis. By default uses the index.
        y : label or position, optional
            Column to plot. By default uses all columns.
        stacked : bool, default True
            Area plots are stacked by default. Set to False to create a
            unstacked plot.
        **kwds : optional
            Additional keyword arguments are documented in
            :meth:`DataFrame.plot`.

        Returns
        -------
        matplotlib.axes.Axes or numpy.ndarray
            Area plot, or array of area plots if subplots is True.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.plot : Make plots of DataFrame using matplotlib / pylab.

        Examples
        --------
        Draw an area plot based on basic business metrics:

            ...                        freq='M'))
            >>> ax = df.plot.area()

        Area plots are stacked by default. To produce an unstacked plot,
        pass ``stacked=False``:

        .. plot::
            :context: close-figs

            >>> ax = df.plot.area(stacked=False)

    def pie(self, y=None, **kwds):
        """
        Generate a pie plot.

        A pie plot is a proportional representation of the numerical data in a
        column. This function wraps :meth:`matplotlib.pyplot.pie` for the
        specified column. If no column reference is passed and
        ``subplots=True`` a pie plot is drawn for each numerical column
        independently.

        Parameters
        ----------
        y : int or label, optional
            Label or position of the column to plot.
            If not provided, ``subplots=True`` argument must be passed.
        **kwds
            Keyword arguments to pass on to :meth:`DataFrame.plot`.

        Returns
        -------
        matplotlib.axes.Axes or np.ndarray of them
            A NumPy array is returned when `subplots` is True.

        In the example below we have a DataFrame with the information about
        planet's mass and radius. We pass the the 'mass' column to the

        Create a scatter plot with varying marker point size and color.

        The coordinates of each point are defined by two dataframe columns and
        filled circles are used to represent each point. This kind of plot is
        useful to see complex correlations between two variables. Points could
        be for instance natural 2D coordinates like longitude and latitude in
        a map or, in general, any pair of metrics that can be plotted against
        each other.

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : int or str
            The column name or column position to be used as horizontal
            coordinates for each point.
        y : int or str
            The column name or column position to be used as vertical
            coordinates for each point.
        s : scalar or array_like, optional
            The size of each point. Possible values are:

            - A single scalar so all points have the same size.

            - A sequence of scalars, which will be used for each point's size
              recursively. For instance, when passing [2,14] all points size
              will be either 2 or 14, alternatively.

        c : str, int or array_like, optional
            The color of each point. Possible values are:

            - A single color string referred to by name, RGB or RGBA code,
              for instance 'red' or '#a98d19'.

            - A sequence of color strings referred to by name, RGB or RGBA
              code, which will be used for each point's color recursively. For
              instance ['green','yellow'] all points will be filled in green or
              yellow, alternatively.

            - A column name or position whose values will be used to color the
              marker points according to a colormap.

        **kwds
            Keyword arguments to pass on to :meth:`DataFrame.plot`.

        Examples
        --------
        Let's see how to draw a scatter plot using coordinates from the values

        """
        Generate a hexagonal binning plot.

        Generate a hexagonal binning plot of `x` versus `y`. If `C` is `None`
        (the default), this is a histogram of the number of occurrences
        of the observations at ``(x[i], y[i])``.

        If `C` is specified, specifies values at given coordinates
        ``(x[i], y[i])``. These values are accumulated for each hexagonal
        bin and then reduced according to `reduce_C_function`,
        having as default the NumPy's mean function (:meth:`numpy.mean`).
        (If `C` is specified, it must also be a 1-D sequence
        of the same length as `x` and `y`, or a column label.)

        Parameters
        ----------
        x : int or str
            The column label or position for x points.
        y : int or str
            The column label or position for y points.
        C : int or str, optional
            The column label or position for the value of `(x, y)` point.
        reduce_C_function : callable, default `np.mean`
            Function of one argument that reduces all the values in a bin to
            a single number (e.g. `np.mean`, `np.max`, `np.sum`, `np.std`).
        gridsize : int or tuple of (int, int), default 100
            The number of hexagons in the x-direction.
            The corresponding number of hexagons in the y-direction is
            chosen in a way that the hexagons are approximately regular.
            Alternatively, gridsize can be a tuple with two elements
            specifying the number of hexagons in the x-direction and the
            y-direction.
        **kwds
            Additional keyword arguments are documented in

        Examples
        --------
        The following examples are generated with random data from
        a normal distribution.

            >>> ax = df.plot.hexbin(x='x', y='y', gridsize=20)

        The next example uses `C` and `np.sum` as `reduce_C_function`.
        Note that `'observations'` values ranges from 1 to 5 but the result
        plot shows values up to more than 25. This is because of the
        `reduce_C_function`.
