plotting dtype "UInt32" fails

[teto]

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series([ 4, 5, 3 ,2 ], dtype="UInt32")
s.astype("int32").plot() # succeeds
s.plot() # fails

fails with

pandas: 0+unknown, why is this?

[teto]

it's pandas 0.24.1 with this commit applied on top #25289. I haven't tried master but the bug should be valid for 0.24.1.

Thanks for the report. Let us know if you want to work on a fix for this. Something in matplotlib doesn't like extension arrays, which can't be reshaped to 2d arrays. We may need to convert before passing to mpl.

[teto]

thanks for the prompt fix !
