There are a few resources
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#OO
and
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/leftwich_tut.txt
and Ken McIvorhas converted many of the pylab examples to OO style (link?)
See also
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pythonic_matplotlib.py
and
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/webapp_demo.py

To make the figure background transparent, do:
fig.figurePatch.set_alpha(0.0)
You can set the alpha channel of any matplotlib artist (Text, Line2D,
Rectangle, etc.). The two of most interest to you will be
fig.figurePatch (a rectangle)
and
ax.axesPatch (ditto)
