=========
Stem Plot
=========

`~.pyplot.stem` plots vertical lines from a baseline to the y-coordinate and
places a marker at the tip.

The position of the baseline can be adapted using *bottom*.
The parameters *linefmt*, *markerfmt*, and *basefmt* control basic format
properties of the plot. However, in contrast to `~.pyplot.plot` not all
properties are configurable via keyword arguments. For more advanced
control adapt the line objects returned by `.pyplot`.
