(values is the data array, ... no idea about scientificstat.standardDeviation)

Sebastian's example is only part of a larger script that defines many
of the variables and functions that are used.

If you are not yet familiar with these examples, maybe you look at the
self contained examples in the matplotlib docs. At least that's what I
do when I only have a rough idea about what graph I want to do but
don't know how to do it with matplotlib. I usually just copy a likely
looking candidate and change it until it (almost)  produces what I
want.
For example look at histogram examples in

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/index.html
