save a plot in python

Question

I plotted something in python and I want to save the plot using plt.savefig("g3.19e10.01024"). But it doesn't let me, as the program sees the .19e10 as an extension which is not recognized by the system. How can I solve this, keeping the same name for the file.

Just add an appropriate filename extension to your current filename. You could use jpg or png:

plt.savefig("g3.19e10.01024.jpg")
plt.savefig("g3.19e10.01024.png")
