Using this dataframe,
```python
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'name':['john','mary','peter','jeff','bill','lisa','jose'],
    'age':[23,78,22,19,45,33,20],
    'gender':['M','F','M','M','M','F','M'],
    'state':['california','dc','california','dc','california','texas','texas'],
    'num_children':[2,0,0,3,2,1,4],
    'num_pets':[5,1,0,5,2,2,3]
})
```
To create a histogram of the age column,
```python
#bins sets range for bins
#rwidth is relative width of bars
df[['age']].plot(kind='hist',bins=[0,20,40,60,80,100],rwidth=0.8)
plt.show()
```

    'num_children':[2,0,0,3,2,1,4],
    'num_pets':[5,1,0,5,2,2,3]
})
```
To create a scatterplot of two columns,
```python
df.plot(kind='scatter',x='num_children',y='num_pets',color='red')
plt.show()
```

```
To create a line plot,
```python
#gca stands for get current axis
ax = plt.gca()

#the ax parameter lets you use the same axis for multiple lines
df.plot(kind='line',x='name',y='num_children',ax=ax)
df.plot(kind='line',x='name',y='num_pets', color='red', ax=ax)

plt.show()
