Taking a step back:
What should I be digging into so I'll have the concepts and tools to
manipulate features like color and thickness of borders on a bar chart and
on a pie graph and any parts that may have a border, whether the shadow on a
pie graph is on the lower left or upper right, etc.?
I'm looking at the
tutorial<http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html>; I'd welcome
suggestions or clarifications about what I should be reading.
