Erik - You write that adding a 'save' is difficult. I can see it is involved, but don't quite see how it is specifically difficult. The way I see it, every item that is added to a figure needs a method to write itself to a file. So you loop through all lines, polygons, and such, and write them to a file. I am sure you guys have thought about this, and maybe have a much better approach.
Is this something that is on the to-do or wish list? Maybe not top priority, but it would sure be nice, Thanks, Mark Jordan Atlas wrote: > Hello, > > Is it possible to 'save' a matplotlib figure object using something > like the python pickle module?

The alternative suggestion is to always encapsulate the making of a figure in a script, and then save the script and the data. If you want to save the combination in a single file, then arrange for the script and data to reside in a single subdirectory, and zip or tar that subdirectory.
