======================
Plotting with keywords
======================

Some data structures, like dict, `structured numpy array
<https://numpy.org/doc/stable/user/basics.rec.html#structured-arrays>`_
or `pandas.DataFrame` provide access to labelled data via string index access
``data[key]``.

For these data types, Matplotlib supports passing the whole datastructure via the
``data`` keyword argument, and using the string names as plot function parameters,
where you'd normally pass in your data.
