[Matplotlib-users] Native file format

[Jan S. <cur...@gm...>]

Hi List,
is there a way to store matplotlib figures in something like a native file
format?
I am thinking of something that keeps track of all the objects (patches(?))
in a mpl figure, so that later you could just revisit that figure and change
properties.
Or add/remove objects from the canvas.
I didn't find anything on the website.
Thanks,
    Jan
