Hi Wayne,

The main entry point to the Matplotlib documentation is here
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/contents.html

To get a better understanding on how everything fit together, the best
place to start is with the pyplot tutorial
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html It's
probably also a good idea to read this FAQ entry
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/usage_faq.html#matplotlib-pylab-and-pyplot-how-are-they-related

Once you're comfortable with the concepts introduced in the above,
you'll find histogram plotting much easier to follow.

Cheers,
Scott
