da.plot(hue='mi_plot', x='x')

It seems like this potentially happen behind the scenes, but I'm not sure.

But this simple code does not reproduce this result 

```
da = xr.DataArray(np.random.randn(2, 3), dims=(""x"", ""y""), coords={""x"": [10, 20]})

len(da.dims) == len(da.indexes)

>False
```

Because the dimension y does not have any coordinates associated with it. Maybe I am missing something, but it seems a clarification should be added that this is only true for dimensions with coordinates assigned to them.

To elaborate a little more on my particular use case, as it might give insight or an alternative solution: I often have time data taken under different experimental parameters, which are my coordinates. However, often the coordinate matrix is very sparse, meaning that my coordinate matrix might be 5x5x5, but I only have 10 data points or so somewhat randomly sampling this space. So being able to see all my 'test cases' with respect to hue/col etc is very useful to quickly examine the data and coordinate combinations, which helps once I want to unstack the array deal with all of the empty parameter space.
