Can't Get Un-stacked Bar Plot In Python Pandas

This is weird. I just can't seem to get unstacked bar plot in python pandas (unlike pandas official guide). The bars just seem to be overlapped, instead of placed sideways. Any clu

Solution 1:

Ok. So now I have to ask what version of pandas you're on. When I run:

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import pandas
try:
    from io import StringIO
except:
    from StringIO import StringIO

data = StringIO("""\

df = pandas.read_csv(data, sep='\s+')
fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, figsize=(6, 10))
df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=False, alpha=0.4, ax=axes[0])
df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, alpha=0.4, ax=axes[1])
for ax in axes:
    ax.set_ylim(bottom=0)

I get:

I'm on pandas 0.13 via (ana)conda
