Hey,

I want to save the image below to my computer but don’t know how. Attached is a screenshot of code and image. Any ideas? Thanks!

(I\_trimmed is an Array{Float32,2}, the rest are PyObject)

Best,  
K

you can use `savefig("name.png")` - similar to [pyplot — Matplotlib 2.0.2 documentation](https://matplotlib.org/2.0.2/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.savefig)

Hey fgerick, thanks for your response. I read the linked documentation. Though I’m not sure that will work. The image that I have does not have a filename. It is a combination of an image with quivers on it… I need to somehow save this image as an object and then save that object… Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated!?
