There are many demos at [bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/src/master/python/demo/). For instance demo for elasticity.  
Instead of using matplotlib you can also [save the function](https://fenicsproject.discourse.group/t/loading-xdmf-data-back-in/1925/4) and visualize it in [Paraview](https://www.paraview.org/)
