title: Matplotlib pyplot putting two plots side by side
body: <p>Hi I'm trying to put two plots side by side with plt and have tried the recommendations here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1616427/trying-to-position-subplots-next-to-each-other">Trying to position subplots next to each other</a></p>
  
  <p>however I am plotting using the default capabilities from pandas by doing</p>
  
  <pre><code>myDataFrame.plot(kind='scatter' x='xcol', y='ycol') 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so i can't do <code>plt.subplot(2, 1, 2)</code> as in <code>myDataFrame.subplot(2,1,2)</code> (obviously)</p>
  
  <p>and doing </p>
  
  <pre><code>plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
  myDataFrame.plot(kind='scatter' x='xcol', y='ycol') 
  
  plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
  myDataFrame.plot(kind='scatter' x='xcol', y='ycol')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>just adds two plots before the plot i want</p>
  
  <p>any ideas how i can still use <code>myDataframe.plot(kind='scatter')</code> and put two of them side by side</p>
