plot a dataset coordinate only

[michaelaye]

For checking the distribution over a specific coordinate, it would be good to make it easy to plot any given coordinate over its index, like what happens when one does in MPL plt.plot(arr) where the x-axis is automatically set as the index.

I have this dataset:

and when I want to do the obvious (TM ;) ) of

ds.H.hvplot()

I get:

ValueError: cannot create a Dataset from a DataArray with the same name as one of its coordinates

What's the best practice to be able to quickly plot any given coordinate of a dataset?

For hvplot errors https://github.com/holoviz/hvplot can probably help better, but just using plt.plot seems quick enough:

ds = xr.tutorial.scatter_example_dataset()
plt.plot(ds.w)

Using .plot() doesn't crash at least although I do question how useful it is to plot w along w:

ds.w.plot()

Something like:
ds.reset_coords().H.hvplot() maybe
