matplotlib layout like plotly by hand

Question

I am plotting with matplotlib and trying to get a nice layout like plotly. Especially I would like to have a bar chart/box plot with filling and contour in the same colour. Not as default black/grey contour and coloured contour but like plotly. Any suggestions without stylesheet?

The following is solved:

Because by searching for the solution I found style sheets, but I get the following error message trying to load specific stylesheets in python matplotlib following the official manual:

>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> plt.style.use('ggplot')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'style'

same problem with:

>>> print plt.style.available
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'style'

Information about the system:

>>> matplotlib.__version__
'1.3.1'

So it seems that something is wrong with my installation, but what can I do? Any suggestions?

As shown in the release notes, the style package was added in matplotlib 1.4. You will need to upgrade if you want to use that.

thanks for the advice, so I will wait for a pre-built package containing version 1.4.

@bijah: What platform are you on? There are binary downloads on the matplotlib site.

@BranBarn: I am on ubuntu 14.4. I started reading through the installation site, but had no real insight, so I thought I will wait...
