I don't think there is one.  I agree our manual (most up-to-date version is
at http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.6.1/) is
currently oriented toward C, fortran 77 (and Tcl/Tk) and needs lots of work
in describing all our other computer language interfaces. Currently our best
documentation of the Fortran 95, Python, Java, and Perl/PDL interfaces to
PLplot is through our set of working examples in the examples sub-directory
of our tarball and also available at
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples/index.html.  In general all those
mentioned language interfaces are essentially identical to the
well-documented C interface except that the redundant array dimensions have
been dropped from argument lists (as you can see also from looking at the
examples).
