Then you can draw a line chart by simply calling `line_chart()` with some
column names:
```python
import plost
plost.line_chart(
my_dataframe,
x='time', # The name of the column to use for the x axis.
y='stock_value', # The name of the column to use for the data itself.
color='stock_name', # The name of the column to use for the line colors.
)
```
Simple enough! But what if you instead have a "wide-format" table like this, which is
super common in reality:
| time | stock1 | stock2 |
|------|--------|--------|
| ... | 1 | 100 |
| ... | 2 | 200 |
Normally you'd have to `melt()` the table with Pandas first or create a complex
Vega-Lite layered plot. But with Plost, you can just specify what you're trying
to accomplish and it will melt the data internally for you:
```python
import plost
plost.line_chart(
my_dataframe,
x='time',
y=('stock1', 'stock2'), # 👈 This is magic!
)
```
Ok, now let's add a mini-map to make panning/zooming even easier:
```python
import plost
plost.line_chart(
my_dataframe,
x='time',
y=('stock1', 'stock2'),
pan_zoom='minimap', # 👈 This is magic!
)
```
But we're just scratching the surface. Basically the idea is that Plost allows
you to make beautiful Vega-Lite-driven charts for your most common needs, without
having to learn about the powerful yet complex language behind Vega-Lite.
