I think the issue is that you want to save a matplotlib figure rather than the actual image. To save a matploltib figure, use the fig.savefig method, documented here:

https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.figure.Figure.html?highlight=figure.savefig#matplotlib.figure.Figure.savefig

By the way, please subscribe to the list before posting, as otherwise you will may not receive replies (see Stéfan’s response below in case you missed it), and we also have to manually approve each of your messages.

As Stéfan said, your use case is so cool! =D

That's awesome!

How do I save images like I see -- in many of your examples, in matplotlib?

It could be that the plugin we use by default doesn't work for you. Could you try: `io.imsave(..., plugin="matplotlib")`. There are some other plugins too, but matplotlib should be safe.

What would help us debug is if you could provide a minimal code snippet of what does not work on your machine.

Best regards,
Stéfan
