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