Description
Once you have installed another plotting library with a pandas.plotting entrypoint it would be nice to be able to toggle back and forth between different backends even within on session.
What currently exists
pd.options.plotting.backend = 'holoviews'
Proposed additional API
df.plot(backend='holoviews')
This would be particularly useful when a particular backend doesn't support a certain type of plot, or you need to use a backend to get some specific functionality but don't want to use if for your whole notebook.
@datapythonista - @TomAugspurger mentioned that you might have opinions on this.
