One place to look is http://matplotlib.sf.net/matlab_interface.html
and the help for the plotting commands listed there.  If this case,
you want to see the help for the figure command:

    figure(num = 1, figsize=(8, 6), dpi=80, facecolor='w', edgecolor='k')


    Create a new figure and return a handle to it

    If figure(num) already exists, make it active and return the
    handle to it.

      figure(1)

    figsize - width in height x inches; defaults to rc figure.figsize
    dpi     - resolution; defaults to rc figure.dpi
    facecolor - the background color; defaults to rc figure.facecolor
    edgecolor - the border color; defaults to rc figure.edgecolor


One day, hopefully in the not too distant future, I'll have a user's
guide.
