There has been some discussion of making such a mechanism, but it does 
not exist.  I think a better strategy is to encapsulate your code in 
files as functions and/or scripts so as to avoid the cutting and 
pasting.  If initially you are plotting interactively, ipython can make 
it easier for you to do this encapsulation:
