======================
Plotting with keywords
======================
There are some instances where you have data in a format that lets you
access particular variables with strings: for example, with
`numpy.recarray` or `pandas.DataFrame`.
Matplotlib allows you to provide such an object with the ``data`` keyword
argument. If provided, you may generate plots with the strings
corresponding to these variables.
