plot dataframe pandas not working

Question

I am using pandas to plot a graph. The following is my function

count_subset.plot(kind='barh', stacked=True)

The response I get is

<matplotlib.axes.AxesSubplot at 0x111fc4ad0>

I can't see the graph anywhere. Am I missing some library ?

You have to 'show' the plot using matplotlib's show:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
...  #plotting code
plt.show()

Another way is, if you use IPython, to activate the matplotlib magic to have it interactively (no need to call show then):

%matplotlib
