Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

data = {
    'size': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    'Yes': [1100.65, 1185.08, 338.30, 336.70, 58.61, 0.00],
    'No': [1700.32, 1380.81, 546.25, 722.00, 91.73, 139.32]
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data).set_index('size')
print(df)

# Plot data
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))

# Plot stacked bar chart on primary axis
df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, ax=ax, legend=False)

# Plot line chart on primary axis (same as bar chart)
df.plot(kind='line', ax=ax, legend=False)

plt.show()

Issue Description

Not sure why the line chart is starting from size=2 and not size=1 as is the case with stacked bar chart.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

data = {
    'xyz': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    'Yes': [1100.65, 1185.08, 338.30, 336.70, 58.61, 0.00],
    'No': [1700.32, 1380.81, 546.25, 722.00, 91.73, 139.32]
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data).set_index('xyz')
print(df)

# Plot data
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))

# Plot stacked bar chart on primary axis
df.plot(kind='bar', stacked=True, ax=ax, legend=False)

# Plot line chart on primary axis (same as bar chart)
df.plot(kind='line', ax=ax, legend=False)

plt.show()

Expected Behavior

The expected behaviour sis that both stacked bar and lines should start from size=1.
