Unless you're making high quality prints I would recommend staying away from matplotlib. That's it's purpose and if you ever use large amounts of data it slows to a crawl. It's a real shame that it's the default plotter for pandas. I imagine I've wasted a full 24 hours in total for plots to show up over the past few years.
