Pandas users are likely to be an important fraction of hvPlot users and are probably already used to the Pandas .plot API, having built some expectations on how it is supposed to work. I suggest we try to better document how these users can migrate to hvPlot's API.
Here are some of the key bits I wish were documented explicitly:
Getting started/entry point for Pandas users specifically
'plots with the * operator to overlay plots or the '
'+ operator to lay out plots beside each other '
'instead.'
)
if'figsize'inmismatches:
mismatches.pop(mismatches.index('figsize'))
param.main.param.warning(
'hvPlot does not have the concept of a figure, '
'and the figsize keyword will be ignored. The '
'size of each subplot in a layout is set '
'individually using the width and height options.'
)
). There are for sure more important differences to document.
Important Pandas features not yet available in hvPlot's API but via HoloViews directly (e.g. dual axis)
Saving a plot
The website currently has the Pandas API guide that is a slightly modified and extended version of the Pandas Visualization Guide. I quite like the concept of this page, trying to replicate Pandas' docs using hvPlot directly (serving both as a test for us and as "migration/compatibility" guide for users. @Azaya89 has opened #1482 to update it based on the latest changes in Pandas docs.
@Azaya89, based on my suggestions above, can you brainstorm and suggest how this content should be organized based on the Diataxis framework (tutorial/how-to/reference/explanation)?
