The docs don't "have" to show anything: they are as complete as the people who 
wrote them have had the time/energy/interest/ability to make them.

It may well be true that the OO interface is under-documented (I don't know). 
If that is the case, then a worthwhile contribution woudl be to write such 
documentation, or to organize the existing one better.  The mpl wiki cookbook 
is there for all to contribute, so you don't even need to bottleneck on John's 
time or resources. A good set of OO pages/tutorials on the wiki, with examples 
and summaries of WXMPL/MPlot/whatever would (if it doesn't exist already) be 
an excellent contribution that users can make.

John has already explicitly said that he'd like to see wxmpl/mplot included, 
so he's obviously open to contributions on this front.

Cheers,
