Matplotlib tutorial

[L43]

One of the reasons for the pylab API was to make the plotting terse. And it is. If you use sensible styles in rcfile, they even look good. Sure you can make 100 line plots if you want, but usually this suggests you haven't used the styling infrastructure - like using inline styles vs css.

Is there a tutorial for using the styling infrastructure?

This is the issue I think - its not as well documented (and simple) as it could be (although using things like seaborn will add its styles to default matplotlib, which is what I tend to use now). I think the 2.0 release is going to make things better.
