We do not have a description of the concepts and mechanisms used in matplotlib. Some information is available in the respective classes or in examples. But I haven't found a concise overview giving the big picture.
It would be valuable for users (and also developers) to have a single help page collecting this information.
In particular:
Elements of a plot
- Figure
- Axes
- Axis
- Artists
- Patches
- ...
Coordinates and scaling
- Figure / Axes / Data coordinates
- Bbox
- aspect handling (original and active axes positions)
- transforms
- ...
The above are just the topics that came to my mind right now. It's work in progress and I plan to work on this later on. Comments and additions are welcome.
