plotting with Gridspec : index is out of bounds

[heelancd]

I came across the same error described in this stack post. I didn't experience the error until upgrading to 0.16.2. Like others who commented, downgrading to 0.15.2 fixed the issue. I couldn't find it reported anywhere else so I wanted to submit an issue.

Thanks for the report.

df3.plot(x='A', y='B', ax=ax2)
#   File "pandas/tools/plotting.py", line 3335, in _handle_shared_axes
#     layout[ax.rowNum, ax.colNum] = ax.get_visible()
# IndexError: index 4 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 3

It looks using ax.rowNum, ax.colNum as indices is not a good idea. Indices must meet the shape of layout. PR is appreciated:)
