Save plots also in pickle

[lvermunt]

Besides saving the plots as png's in the /plots_nevt*/ directory, it would be good to also have the object itself saved. So one doesn't have to rerun for making small changes in the layout, and it is possible to show two differently trained pT bins in one canvas.

Pickle should work right? @ginnocen, what do you think?

Code will become something like this

plotname = folder+'/ROCcurve.png'
plt.savefig(plotname)
plotnamepickle = folder+'/ROCcurve.pickle'
with open(plotnamepickle,'wb') as fid:
    pickle.dump(figure2 ,fid)

And for offline use

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pickle as pl

fig_handle = pl.load(open('ROCcurve.pickle','rb'))
fig_handle.show()

#Get the data, for further operations
x = fig_handle.axes[0].lines[0].get_data()

I am ok with it. We would need to modify the code accordingly. @lvermunt let me know if you can take care of it

@lvermunt @ginnocen Can we close that?

[lvermunt]

I forgot about this, didn't push it anymore. Still think it is a feature we should include, so let's keep it open for the moment

hi @LuukVermunt what is the plan for this?
