What is Saving figures?

Figures are saved to disk with plt.savefig('filename.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight'). Supported formats include PNG, PDF, SVG, and JPEG. Saving high-resolution figures is important when embedding charts in reports or publications. The bbox_inches='tight' parameter prevents axis labels from being cut off.
