Have you read the manual itself? I found that quite helpful in getting started: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/index.html I've been satisfied with learning a bit here and there as I go. It's a big project, and I don't expect to understand it all at once. But, that said, even with a partial understanding I'm pleased at what it can do for my needs. What I find is first you should determine what is the desired outcome you want, then Google around for mentions of this in old threads or on the matplotlib site, then maybe try asking for assistance on the list.
