A :class:`pandas.DataFrame` is a 2D table. Columns are identified by their
**labels** (shown across the top), and rows are identified by the **index**
(shown on the left).

.. note::

The **index** labels rows and enables reliable alignment, selection and joins
across objects. See :ref:`indexing` for a deeper introduction.
