Store and reload matplotlib.pyplot object

by

As of 1.2 matplotlib ships with experimental pickling support. If you come across any issues with it, please let us know on the mpl mailing list or by opening an issue on github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib

HTH

EDIT: Added a simple example

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import pickle

ax = plt.subplot(111)
x = np.linspace(0, 10)
y = np.exp(x)
plt.plot(x, y)
pickle.dump(ax, file('myplot.pickle', 'w'))

Then in a separate session:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pickle

ax = pickle.load(file('myplot.pickle'))
plt.show()
