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!

Hello Bruce,
Have you tried the standard Python copy/deepcopy function?
My matplotlib knowledge is limited so there is probably a better approach, but that should work.
