Re: [Matplotlib-users] Figure save hack

[Guillaume G. <gui...@mi...>]

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!)
