DataFrame.plot docs broken

[WillAyd]

Not showing anything useful currently. I think the regression came between 0.24 and 0.25

0.25.0 docs:

https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.25.0/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html

0.24.2 docs:
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.24.2/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.plot.html

This is a duplicate of #27748. I'm going to close that one, as contributors usually don't check old issues.

I'm gonna take a crack at this if no one else is working on it!

I'm still looking into this. I've discovered that this issue also affects Series.plot. Both plot classes use the PandasAutosummary class in conf.py and PlotAccessor

[datapythonista]

I don't think the docstring was removed, so it should be only a question of setting it to the right object (which was probably unset during a big refactoring we did).

I noticed that in pandas.core.series.py and pandas.core.frame.py that both the DataFrame.plot method and the Series.plot method is create dynamically. See line 8146 for the Dataframe.plot and line 4393 for the Series.plot. For example on line 8146 in the pandas.core.frame.py file we have the code

plot = CachedAccessor("plot", pandas.plotting.PlotAccessor)

The documentation that is needed for both the series and the dataframe is in the pandas.plotting._core.py file where the class PlotAccessor is defined (line 543)

How can one set the documentation considering that the plot and series method is create dynamically?
