I merged this, but it might also be nice to add an example (or at least brief mention) to the narrative docs for 1D plotting. See: http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/plotting.html#one-dimension https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/master/doc/plotting.rst

Well, this behaviour is analogous to automatically choosing x,y in _plot2d. xarray is already pretty opinionated in this respect.

We use the order of the dimensions on the array for choosing how to plot it. The analogous behavior would be to always plot longer dimension along the x-axis, which isn't what we do.

The current behaviour for a 10000x3 array is to plot 10000 lines which is bad. I'm OK with adding an error message but strongly feel that choosing to plot 3 lines (i.e. always smallest number of lines) is a good default.

I agree that users probably rarely want 10,000 lines :). That's a good reason to require an explicit choice here.

The problem are edge cases like a 5x6 array. Do you want 5 lines of 6 points each or 6 lines of 5 points each? If we make the heuristic depend on the size of the array, then it will give very hard to understand what happens when the array shape changes slightly.

Re:error, would that be a message stating that either x or hue be specified if the input is 2D?

Yes, that sounds right.

If x kwarg is not provided, we automatically choose the longer dimension. So if you have a 10000x3 DataArray, this will plot 3 lines instead of 10000.

I am very nervous about automated heuristics for choosing behavior. I would much rather we raise an error message in cases like this, rather than guessing. (The problem is that heuristics can make it very hard to predict/understand how code will work without trying it.)

Is there a keyword argument name that it would make sense to use for the dimension that is repeated into multiple lines? Maybe hue, as is used by Seaborn?

I would like there to be a fully explicit way to make these plots.
