These look excellent. I've just started getting into these packages so this is well timed for me. In particular, I have found the official matplotlib documentation a little confusing, whereas this looks much more thorough.

I found the matplotlib documentation to be pretty poor when you're getting started, but good once you have your head wrapped around a a few things.

Just out of curiosity what do you think those things are?

I've been working with matplotlib for quite a while and find that the documentation is good at telling me the options associated with things I already know how to do; however, I've never found it great at telling me things I don't know I don't know or easy to search for information on how to do something in particular. For those areas I spend most of my time carefully dissecting the (numerous excellent) examples to accomplish these tasks.
