Barplots

[Mekire]

Call plt.show() and it seems to give what you want:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt


ig, axes = plt.subplots(2,1)
data = pd.Series(np.random.rand(16), index=list('abcdefghijklmnop'))
data.plot.bar(ax=axes[0], color='k', alpha=0.7)
data.plot.barh(ax=axes[1], color='k', alpha=0.7)

plt.show()
