As you've probably noticed, the documentation is in the middle of an
update.  Part of what has suffered while the docs are updated is the
API documentation.  The source code, however, is quite well
documented.  A good way to get access to this documentation is to get
a hold of epydoc and run it on the matplotlib source tree.  This will
generate good local docs for you.

Cheers,

Thanks, I was unaware of epydoc.  The new matplotlib page (which
wasn't up when I asked this question) has a lot of examples showing
exactly what I want to do, so that will probably help a lot too.
