Finally getting started? You were one of our first contributors!

The 111, and the numbering scheme in general, is covered in the pyplot
tutorial
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/pyplot_tutorial.html#working-with-multiple-figures-and-axes
and in the subplots API docs
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.subplot
but it looks like the Figure.add_subplot docs could use some improvement
here to explain the numbering scheme better (as pyplot.subplot does)
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/figure_api.html#matplotlib.figure.Figure.add_subplot
I'll try and find some time today to clean up this docstring and to improve
the pyplot tutorial to use the recommended "subplots" command.
