 This is an attempt to create a dedicated backend for matplotlib
 in pygame.
 
+The matplotlib ```Figure``` object is replaced by a ```FigureSurface``` object
+which inherits from both ```matplotlib.figure.Figure``` and
+```pygame.Surface```.
+
+## Installation
+```
+pip install pygame-matplotlib
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+First you will need to specify that you want to use pygame backend.
+```
+# Select pygame backend
+import matplotlib
+matplotlib.use('module://pygame_matplotlib.backend_pygame')
+```
+
+Then you can use matplotlib as you usually do.
+```
+# Standard matplotlib syntax
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+fig, ax = plt.subplots()  # Create a figure containing a single axes.
+ax.plot([1, 2, 3, 4], [1, 4, 2, 3])  # Plot some data on the axes.
+plt.show()
+```
+
+Or you can include the plot in your game using the fact that a ```Figure``` is
+also a ```pygame.Surface``` with this backend.
+```
+import pygame
+import pygame.display
+
+fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 1,)
+axes.plot([1,2], [1,2], color='green', label='test')
+
+fig.canvas.draw()
+
+screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
+
+# Use the fig as a pygame.Surface
+screen.blit(fig, (100, 100))
+
+show = True
+while show:
+    for event in pygame.event.get():
+        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
+            # Stop showing when quit
+            show = False
+    pygame.display.update()
+```
+
+Note that if you want to update the plot during the game, you might
+need to call ```fig.canvas.draw()``` and ```screen.blit(fig)``` during
+the game loop.
+
 See examples in test.py or test_show.py
 
-Still in progress ...
+## Current implementation
+
+Support mainly the basic plotting capabilities.
