I'm not sure where you got the examples but the official site
contains a wealth of samples.

If you find one that's close to what you want, grab the
source code and try to map your data to that code.
That may be what you've already done, in which case you
are going to have to spend a bit of time learning the tools.

There is a specific matplotlib support forum however
who may be better placed than this list to help:
