You can just pass a path to savefig, e.g.:
savefig("/home/me/test.png")
(The format is automatically determined from the extension). If you
want to know which formats are supported by which backends, you can have
a look at FILETYPES in the source tree here:
http://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib/FILETYPES?view=markup
Many of the examples for matplotlib have savefig, but the line is
usually commented out. Just remove the '#' and you have lots of examples.
Cheers,
