Hi all,

this is my first post to this mailing list, so let me take the
opportunity to thank everyone involved for an amazing piece of
software and all the hard work you guys put into it! It is very much
appreciated indeed.

I have a quick question/suggestion regarding the save() method in the
matplotlib.animation.Animation class. I recently produced an animation
in which I needed to set tight bounding boxes when saving the
individual frames. Obviously savefig() supports this, but there is no
way to pass this information to the Animation.save() method. Would it
make sense to let Animation.save() accept additional keyword arguments
which are simply passed on to savefig() in each step of the animation
loop? Or am I overlooking potential drawbacks of this approach? A
simple patch with this idea is attached. Feel free to use it as is or
to modify at will if you think this is useful.

Many thanks and kind regards,
Max
