know how to convert a Sage graphics object into something matplotlib can
plot.
That's exactly what I've posted earlier about LMFDB
[https://github.com/LMFDB/lmfdb/blob/master/lmfdb/utils.py#L524 here].
{{{
from matplotlib.backends.backend_agg import FigureCanvasAgg
fig = P.matplotlib()
fig.set_canvas(FigureCanvasAgg(fig))
fig.savefig(..., format='png')
}}}
LMFDB also uses `StringIO` to avoid the creation of temporary files. I
think that's a good thing in general and only has benefits. I just don't
know how the underlying mechanism here works, but I would recommend doing
that.
