The only problem I could see with your code is that you need to force
a draw before copying the background. But when I added the draw, and
then further simplified to reuse the same canvas, I still am not
seeing the restored region. I will need to do further digging to see
what is going wrong, but the problem appears both on the maintenance
branch and the trunk. Here is my modified test script:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig1 = plt.figure(1)
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.grid()
fig1.canvas.draw()
fig1.savefig('figure1.png')
background = fig1.canvas.copy_from_bbox(ax1.bbox)
fig1.clf()
#figure2 = pylab.figure(2)
#canvas2 = figure2.canvas
fig1.canvas.restore_region(background)
fig1.savefig('figure2.png')
