[Tutor] simple plots

[questions anon]

I would like to make some simple plots using matplotlib (or any python
plotting modules) and I can find lots of examples that generate random data
and then plot those, but I cannot find any that read in data from excel or a
text file, manipulate the data and then plot the data. Does anyone have any
examples for this or webpages I could go to?
