Saving plot settings to a file

Is it possible to save the settings of the current figure or subplot to a file? I don't mean general configuration such as font size. I would like to save specific things such as the current x-axis limits, scale, or regions of interest to a file and restore that to a plot at a later time. Is there a simple way to do this with matplotlib (or another library based off of matplotlib)?

Have you looked intopickle? I'm not sure ifmatplotlibobjects are supported but it might be of interest to you.

@Idlehands, stackoverflow.com/questions/7290370/… suggests that might be a workable approach. Thanks.

Just to make sure, are you asking how to save a figure including all axes limits etc or are you asking how to save the setting to latter apply them to a different figure?

@ImportanceOfBeingErnest, how to save the settings and apply them later to a different figure. The pickle approach would require copying over all of the settings between the two figures, but it may be workable.
