Hi John, Thanks for your help!
I'm not sure how I should go about overriding the existing method. Say I have the following custom savefig(): def savefig(self, evt): print "Hello world" and a figure() instance fig, how do I actually tell fig.canvas.manager.frame.toolbar.save to actually point to my custom savefig? Thanks!
