Setting up Danfo.js for plotting

By default, Danfo.js provides some basic chart types. These charts can be called on any DataFrame or Series object and, if the correct arguments are passed, it will display the corresponding chart.

At the time of writing, Danfo.js comes with the following charts:

• Line charts
• Box and violin plots
• Tables
• Pie charts
• Scatter plots
• Bar charts
• Histograms

These charts are exposed via the plot function. That is, if you have a DataFrame or Series object, calling the plot function on them exposes these charts.

The plot method requires a div ID where the plot is to be shown. For example, assuming df is a DataFrame, we can call the plot function as shown in the following code snippet:

const df = new DataFrame({...})
df.plot("my_div_id").<chart type>

The chart type can be line, bar, scatter, hist, pie, box, violin, or table.  

Each plot type will accept plot-specific arguments, but...
