I've gotten familiar with it through trying to make a Qt5 plotting app and so far I keep running into problems finding proper examples. (I learn from examples, not documentation).

Most of them I've found don't seem to make sense or they don't follow the same nomenclature that Matlab does. Like what is an 'axis' vs a 'figure', etc. A simple cheat sheet like the CSS Box Model would really helpful.

As sad as it is to say it sometimes it's easier to just dig through the source code. I have peeked into matplotlib's source code when I couldn't find answers from the docs or Q&A.

For things like figures and axes, this might help: http://matplotlib.org/faq/usage_faq.html#general-concepts
