+Added ``orientation`` parameter for stem plots
+-----------------------------------
+When creating stem plots, you can now pass in an ``orientation`` argument to :func:`stem`.
+
+Currently, only ``vertical`` and ``horizontal`` orientations are supported,
+with ``horizontal`` being the default.
+
+Example
+```````
+stem(x, x, orientation='vertical')
