     Helper function to convert DataFrame and Series to matplotlib.table.
 
+    This method provides an easy way to visualize tabular data within a Matplotlib
+    figure. It automatically extracts index and column labels from the DataFrame
+    or Series, unless explicitly specified. This function is particularly useful
+    when displaying summary tables alongside other plots or when creating static
+    reports. It utilizes the `matplotlib.pyplot.table` backend and allows
+    customization through various styling options available in Matplotlib.
