If you just want to work on these in isolation,
you just need
     import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Nothing more.  You can now use e.g. plt.plot
whenever you want.

But if you want to embed Matplotlib in a GUI
(for example, to make a Tkinter application),
you will have to learn some additional details.
GUI is best learned by modifying examples,
and Matplotlib provides *many* examples.

Here are a few extra hints:
