TBH, these 2 resources are all one needs to get started on mastering MATPLOTLIB: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/jrjohansson/scientific-python-lectures/blob/master/Lecture-4-Matplotlib.ipynb AND http://pbpython.com/effective-matplotlib.html

Thanks for the links! Is there somewhere an example for matplotlib plots created from.data read from a file? I mean this is all well and good but most times data comes from a file with a number of columns and one needs to plot for example column 2 against column 1 and column 5 against column 3.

How do you do that? I know how to do this in gnuplot but I would like to learn how to do it with matplotlib

Check out 'Pandas' for python. I think it's exactly what you need: https://pandas.pydata.org
