  • filename (str) – the file to save to (only uses path if multiple files)

  • savefigargs (dict) – arguments passed to savefig()

  • aslist (bool) – whether or not return a list even for a single file

  • varbose (bool) – whether to print progress

Examples:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import sciris as sc
fig1 = plt.figure(); plt.plot(np.random.rand(10))
fig2 = plt.figure(); plt.plot(np.random.rand(10))
sc.savefigs([fig1, fig2]) # Save everything to one PDF file
sc.savefigs(fig2, 'png', filename='myfig.png', savefigargs={'dpi':200})
sc.savefigs([fig1, fig2], filepath='/home/me', filetype='svg')
sc.savefigs(fig1, position=[0.3,0.3,0.5,0.5])

If saved as ‘fig’, then can load and display the plot using sc.loadfig().
