Hi all, I wonder if anyone knows any alternative function in pylab (or otherwise) that could be used to save an image. My problem is as follows: --------------- from pylab import * ... figure(1) fig1 = gca() figure(2) fig2 = gca() figure(3) fig3 = gca() for i,data_file in enumerate(data_file_list): time,x, y,x2, y2 = read_csv_file_4(open (data_file),elements=num_of_ elements) fig1.plot(-x,-y,color=colours[i],label=labellist[i]) fig2.plot(time,-y,color=colours[i],label=labellist[i]) fig3.plot(time,-x,color=colours[i],label=labellist[i]) fig1.legend(loc='best') fig1.set_title("y1 - x1") fig1.set_ylabel("y1") fig1.set_xlabel("x1") #savefig("y1-x1.png") fig2.legend(loc='best') fig2.set_title("y1 - time") fig2.set_ylabel("y1") fig2.set_xlabel("time[s]") #savefig("y1-time.png") fig3.legend(loc='best') fig3.set_title("x1 - time") fig3.set_ylabel("x1") fig3.set_xlabel("time[s]") #savefig("x1-time.png") show() --------------------------- In the above code, I read multiple data files and plot three separate figures. Now I would like to save each of the figures to a file as the commented savefig satements suggest. The trouble is that if I uncomment all those savefig statements, I get three saved images all containing the plot belonging to figure(3), which was the last figure declared. I understand this to be happening because savefig will save the "current" figure, which in this case happens to be the last one declared. If I could do something like fig1.savefig("y1-x1.png") or savefig("y1- x1.png").fig1, this would solve the problem but I'm not aware of any such methods or modules to enable this. This is thus a flaw in the general design/implementation of the savefig function, but is there an alternative function to enable me achieve what I need? Is there perhaps a possible tweak to savefig to make it do the same? Thanks in advance, Robert
