These can be seen by inspecting the __call__ attribute, but they are referenced from the particular plotting methods, but not easily learned about in IPython/Jupyter.

Hmm, I thought this worked correctly. There is this line: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/master/pandas/tools/plotting.py#L3624, adding the actual docs to the __call__ method.
But that seems to only work on an actual dataframe instance, not on pd.DataFrame.plot?.
We should probably just replace the class docstring with that, instead of only the __call__ docstring.

The online docs are correct: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html

Hi, I'd like to give this issue a shot.
If I understand correctly...
This is the problem
Should look like what @jorisvandenbossche posted: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html
Is the solution to paste the shared docstring to the __call__ class?
Comment From: jorisvandenbossche
@yinleon that's indeed the problem. The __call__ docstring is good, but it is the class docstring that should get updated.
Comment From: yinleon
Ok, I'm working on a naive solution. This is also a problem for pd.series.plot()

groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.plot documentation is lacking as well.
