save(outpath, resolution=75.0, oversample=2.0, size=None, width=None, height=None, psconvert=False, crop_eps_mode=False)[source]

Save the image.

Save the image to outpath. The format is determined by the filename extension. Formats are handled as follows: '.eps' and '.ps' produce EPS and PS, respectively, directly with GMT. If the file name ends with '.pdf', GMT output is fed through gmtpy-epstopdf to create a PDF file. For any other filename extension, output is first converted to PDF with gmtpy-epstopdf, then with pdftocairo to PNG with a resolution oversampled by the factor oversample and finally the PNG is downsampled and converted to the target format with convert. The resolution of rasterized target image can be controlled either by resolution in DPI or by specifying width or height or size, where the latter fits the image into a square with given side length. To save transparency use psconvert=True. To crop the output image with a rectangle to the nearest non-white element set crop_eps_mode=True.
