Save or pickle pyplot object

Community matplotlib-users

Hi!

I would like to save a pyplot object as it is, including axes, lines,
text, etc. into a file.
When opening it again, I want to be able to add additional axes, lines
and so on.

Unfortunately pickle does not handle the pyplot object and gives me an
error.

Anyone knows a solution?

All the best

This has been an often requested feature, but much harder to implement than expected. There is currently no known solution to this problem, but I certainly would hope that it becomes possible.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
