I have written a Python3 program to plot and save UV/VIS spectra from the results of an Orca quantum mechanical calculation.

I input the name of the molecule .dat file, without the suffix.

Everything is fine until I get to the point where I want to save the figure as name.png using:

figure = name+'.png'
print(figure)
plt.savefig('figure', bbox_inches='tight')

where the print statement verifies the nae of the saved figure. The problem is that the saved file is figure.png.

Unfortunately, as I am a neophyte to Python programming I don't what I am doing wrong. It's probably a red-faced forehead slapper of a mistake on my part.

A point in the right direction to properly naming the saved figure will be muck appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
