savefigs 0.1.0

Save all open Matplotlib figures

savefigs

The goal is to make it easy to save all open Matplotlib figures, with names that are useful.

Usage

Assume we have a script some_script.py that creates multiple Matplotlib figures.

Import the savefigs function:

from savefigs import savefigs

The below examples assume the figures do not have a label (fig.get_label(), set using the num argument to plt.figure()). If a figure does have a label, it will be used in place of fig{N}.

Default save settings:

savefigs()
# ./some_script_fig1.png, ./some_script_fig2.png, ...

Specify directory:

savefigs(save_dir="figs")  # must exist
# ./figs/some_script_fig1.png, ./figs/some_script_fig2.png, ...

Specify a prefix to the base stem format:

savefigs(stem_prefix="run1")
# ./run1_fig1.png, ./run1_fig2.png, ...

Save in multiple file formats:

savefigs(formats=["png", "pdf"])
# ./some_script_fig1.png, ./some_script_fig1.pdf, ...

Avoid overwriting files:

savefigs(clobber=False, clobber_method="add_num")
