No, Graphite has its own custom light-weight rendering engine. Matplotlib is an extremely powerful library and in the future we may potentially use it for graph generation. In the mean time, if you wish to use matplotlib to generate graphs of data that is stored in Graphite, you can use Graphite's URL API to retrieve the raw data. Specific instructions on how to do this are at http://graphite.wikidot.com/url-api-reference under the section labeled "Getting raw numerical data out of Graphite".
