Hi,
Please do not underestimate the usefulness of this feature of Matlab. I am
working on my PhD which is a long term project and requires many figures in the
final dissertation. It very convenient in Matlab to be able to make small
adjustment to plots you generated a year ago by simply opening the .fig file.
Often, when working with my matplotlib plots, I'd have to go back and
re-generate the plots, which may require a lenghty simulation or familiarising
yourself with scripts you wrote a year ago.
The good pdf support in inkscape and the ability to save to svg from matplotlib
somewhat alleviates this, but there are still many adjustments which require
regenrating the original plot and many little errors that creep in because of
incomplete support for the pdf format in inkscape.
Regards
Izak

Elaine,
No, this is not possible in mpl. It has been requested before, and
there has been some discussion, but I don't think it is high on anyone's
priority list. Personally, I never used that functionality when I used
Matlab, so I don't miss it.
