Plotting DataFrame columns against each other

Question

How do I plot DataFrame columns against each other ignoring indices? e.g.

Let a DataFrame df1 be as follows:

I've tried:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
df1.plot()
df1.plot(df1['x'],df1['y'])

The first case yielding two plots, one for each column in the ordinate and the index as abcissa, the second producing an out of bounds indexing error.

You could:

df1.set_index('x').plot()
