how to set set default figure format for interactive figures?

Dear all,

I use the default GTKAgg backend. When I explore the figure in interactive mode, I find a list of formats to select for the figure format.
But the default one is .png, so how can I change to .jpg?

In [7]: mat.get_backend()
Out[7]: ‘GTKAgg’

thanks et cheers,

Chao

Chao,

It is currently not possible, but I think it has been made into a feature request already. If you don’t see it in the github issues list, could you please add one?

Cheers!

Hi Ben,

I search for keyword ‘format’ and don’t find relevant issue. So I add one.

cheers,
