On the two routines I’m modifying from examples, boundaries and borders are generally a hefty black.
How can I control color and/or thickness and/or turn off items like boundaries that are drawn in black?

There are two borders in question, the figure border and the axes
border. Both are rectangle instances. You can control the figure
border with the figurePatch instance
fig.figurePatch.set_edgecolor('white')
fig.figurePatch.set_linewidth(0.5)
and similarly for the axes axesFrame instance
ax = axes([left, bottom, width, height])
ax.axesFrame.set_edgecolor('red')
ax.axesFrame.set_linewidth(0.5)
You can make the frame invisible in a few different ways:
* set the edgecolor to be the same as the face color
* set the linewidth to 0
* set the visible property to False (ax.axesFrame.set_visible(False))

How do I query/set the figure in question?
I was specifying the axes earlier, and setting a linewidth of 0 seemed to remove one of two borders (or, from a non-technical perspective, made the border half as thick). See before.png and after.png: getting closer at least…

Taking a step back:
What should I be digging into so I’ll have the concepts and tools to manipulate features like color and thickness of borders on a bar chart and on a pie graph and any parts that may have a border, whether the shadow on a pie graph is on the lower left or upper right, etc.?
I’m looking at the tutorial ; I’d welcome suggestions or clarifications about what I should be reading.

I'm looking at the tutorial ; I'd welcome suggestions or clarifications
about what I should be reading.
The tutorial is a good start, as is the user's guide
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users_guide_0.98.1.pdf
some of the user's guide is dated, and the neww docs we are working on
(still in beta) are at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html. The
screenshots (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html) and
examples (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/) are good places
to go for inspiration. You will probably also want to read the artist
tutorial at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/users/artists.html
Good luck!

Thank you; on to digging…
