Hi, I have been dreaming about this for a long time too,
This would really be a nice feature. I often need to come back to the formatting of a plot, and its formatting only, without the need to really access the data (which I often end up calculating again!)

Hi, This sounds actually very interesting. I have been thinking about how to save matplotlib figures in a way comparable to the Matlab .fig format: a file that holds the data (for instance using HDF5/pytables, some figures might hold a lot of data) and the plotting commands to exactly reconstruct the figure. However, I never got around of thinking about an actual implementation for Matplotlib. Hopefully your work can inspire me to actually get it started , and I will try to find some time to dig in your code the coming weeks. At the Spyder mailing list the idea of saving figures a la Matlab briefly popped before as well: http://groups.google.com/group/spyderlib/browse_thread/thread/bf582bac96ff875/d5e94fe9296afbe5 I think saving figures in this manner would be a nice feature for matplotlib. Thanks for sharing this! Regards, David PS: sorry to Sebastian for sending the message twice On 15/03/12 11:22, Sebastian Berg wrote:Hey, last weekend I wrote a hook which can track figure creation. Basically it takes care of creating the new figure and wraps it to track all changes to it. Its a hack, and the code is not cleaned up or tested much, but I like to do scripts that I run with many parameters to create plots and it works well to allow me to open the figures in a way that I can zoom, etc. and would allow editing (a bit) later on too. So while I doubt the approach can be made something serious, and there are probably things that don't work (right now 3D Axis can be done with a bit extra but mouse zooming does not work inside a 3D Axis, though I think its likely not difficult to change), I thought I would put it online because I am not aware of any way to save matplotlib figures: https://github.com/seberg/haunter-for-matplotlib-figures Maybe someone finds it useful or interesting :) Regards, Sebastian Berg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
