* Objectives
  At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to,
  - Save plots using ``savefig()`` function.
  - Save plots in different formats.
  
* Creating a basic plot
  Plot a sine wave from -3pi to 3pi.
  #+begin_src python
    In []: x = linspace(-3*pi,3*pi,100)
    
    In []: plot(x, sin(x))
  #+end_src
* savefig()
** savefig() - to save plots
   : syntax: savefig(fname)
** example
*** savefig('/home/fossee/sine.png')    
   - file sine.png saved to the folder /home/fossee
   - .png - file type

* More on savefig()
** Recall
   - .png - file type
** File types supported
*** .pdf - PDF(Portable Document Format)
*** .ps - PS(Post Script)
*** .eps - Encapsulated Post Script
    ~to be used with~ LaTeX ~documents~
*** .svg - Scalable Vector Graphics
    ~vector graphics~
*** .png - Portable Network Graphics
    ~supports transparency~
* Question 1
  Save the sine plot in the format EPS which can be embedded in LaTeX documents.
* Question 2
  Save the sine plot in PDF, PS and SVG formats.

* Summary
  In this tutorial, we have learnt to –
  - Save plots using the ``savefig()`` function.
  - Save the plots in differnt formats.
    - pdf
    - ps
    - png
    - svg
    - eps
  - Locate files in the file system.
* Evaluation
  1. Which command is used to save a plot.

     - saveplot()
     - savefig()
     - savefigure()
     - saveplt()

  2. ``savefig('sine.png')`` saves the plot in,

     - The root directory ``/`` (on GNU/Linux, Unix based systems),
       ``c:\`` (on windows).
     - Will result in an error as full path is not supplied.
     - The current working directory.
     - Predefined directory like ``/documents``.
* Solutions
  1. savefig()

  2. The current working directory
