Update hist.py

[rraadd88]

Minor improvement, allowing inference of the xlabel for a histgram plotted using a Series.

Reduces these lines of code:

ax=ds.hist()
ax.set(
    xlabel=ds.name,
)

to

ds.hist()

Is there an issue related to this PR? Typically the project requires an issue with discussion and buy-in from the core team before proceeded.

IMO generally pandas has been moving away from automatic inference so I would be -1 for this behavior

Thanks for the pull request, but it appears to have gone stale. If interested in continuing, please merge in the main branch, address any review comments and/or failing tests, and we can reopen.

No worries. If anyone stumbles on this, there is a wrapper package called roux which implements this shortcut.
