After looking at Pandas source code, it's my understanding that - Pandas provides a well defined plotting API - At runtime, Pandas figures out the right backend to use via _get_plot_backend() and then dispatches the plotting functionality to this backend.

This approach makes interfacing with Pandas objects easy as long as the plotting library adheres to this plotting API. Currently, Xarray's plotting API is closely tied to matplotlib. To support entrypoint for other plotting backend will likely require defining something similar to Pandas's plotting API. Is my interpretation correct?

Pinging @TomAugspurger, @jsignell and @jbednar as they may have ideas on how to proceed with this implementation.
