Just starting simple with: fig=plt.figure() ax=plt.gca() and keep tabbing ax.<tab>, fig.<tab> or any object you create on the canvas .tab to get its methods and attributes. Another approach is start with the pylab interface and query detailed help/code with ?? in IPython (e.g. plt.xlabel??) -- Gökhan
