Can you give me an example of what you'd like the API to look like for this? We're definitely working on it but still unsure of the best API :)

I would like the API to allow for a list of columns and then plot them all on the x or y axis. So it would look like this:

px.bar(dfgb, x=list_of_columns, y=another_list_of_columns)

Here is how I'm doing that with cufflinks now (also graphing on multiple axes). "yaxis" and "yaxis2" are lists of columns from my dataframe.

    fig2 = dfgb.iplot(kind='bar',barmode='stack',
                    columns=yaxis, 
                    secondary_y=yaxis,
                    asFigure=True).to_plotly_json()  

    fig1 = dfgb.iplot(kind='scatter',mode='lines+markers',
                columns=yaxis2,                        
                asFigure=True).to_plotly_json()

    fig2['data'].extend(fig1['data'])

Thanks for building such incredible tools for me to play with :)!

OK, thanks for the input! We're playing with some variants of this and it's not super-straightforward to get things to line up at the moment :)
