        A horizontal bar plot

        A `barh` plot represents categorical data with rectangular bars
        with heights proportional to the values that they represent. The y-axis of the chart
        plots categories and the x-axis represents the value scale.
        The bars are of equal width which allows for instant comparison of data.

        `barh` can be used on dataframes with regular Index or MultiIndex.
