• Matplotlib version, Python version and Platform (Windows, OSX, Linux ...)
  matplotlib-2.0.0rc2.dist-info python3.5 fedora 25 linux
• How did you install Matplotlib and Python (pip, anaconda, from source ...)
  pip3 install --pre --upgrade --user matplotlib
• If possible please supply a Short, Self Contained, Correct, Example
  that demonstrates the issue i.e a small piece of code which reproduces the issue
  and can be run with out any other (or as few as possible) external dependencies.
  This is not (yet) self-contained, but the code is

def plot_alloc_vs_sent (df):
    ax = df.plot(y='DataBytesSent', marker='x', linestyle='solid')
    df.plot(y='TotalAllocBytes', marker='o', ax=ax, linestyle='dotted')
    #df.plot(y='backlog', marker='^', ax=ax, linestyle='dotted')
    df.plot(y='queue', marker='<', ax=ax, linestyle='dotted')
    plt.grid()
    plt.show()

where df is a pandas [DataFrame]

• If this is an image generation bug attach a screenshot demonstrating the issue.

• If this is a regression (Used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib), please
  note where it used to work.
