[Matplotlib-users] A second copy of a figure

[Bruce F. <br...@cl...>]

I'm needing to keep two copies of a figure, with the properties
different on one copy.

However with logic like below, both copies remain the same regardless:

#I want one copy with the defaul background and one to be transparent...

    imgname = GenFilename(20)+".png"
    imgsrc = "../dynamic/"+imgname
    if kml == 1:
        fig1 = fig
        fig1.frameon = False
        fig1.figurePatch.set_alpha(0.0)
        imgname1 = imgname[:-4] + "-kml.png"
        imgsrc1 = "../dynamic/"+imgname1
        fig1.savefig(imgsrc1,dpi=100,transparent=True)
    fig.savefig(imgsrc,dpi=100)

So, it appears that fig1=fig doesn't make a copy, but rather links
these figures.  Is there a way to make a true separate figure that
will allow me to alter properties in the new copy without altering the
original.

Thanks!

Bruce
