title: How to plot a vertical area plot with pandas
body: <p>Is there a straight forward way to plot an area plot using pandas, but orient the plot vertically?</p>
  
  <p>for example to plot an area plot horizontally I can do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  import numpy as np
  
  df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10, 4), columns=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
  df.plot(kind='area');
  </code></pre>

  <p>I can plot a bar plot vertically with <code>'barh'</code> </p>
  
  <pre><code>df.plot(kind='barh');
  </code></pre>

  <p>But I can't figure out a straightforward way to get a area plot vertical</p>
