This looks like it might fail for composite images, where the draw
method is not an Artist method, so im_self will not be defined.  Eg in
figimage_demo.py where "fig.suppressComposite = False" since the draw
method is the local function "draw_composite'.  To handle
this case as well, I submitted a slightly more verbose pull request at
