numeric format of pylab.save()

can numeric accuracy be controlled with the pylab.save()

    > command? i'd like to change the number format and number
    > of digits.

See the help for 'save',
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.pylab.html#-save, in particular
the fmt keyword argument, eg

  save('test3.out', x, fmt='%1.4f')

Hope this helps,
