Problem

I have to always do:

plt.savefig(...)
plt.close()

this seems unnecessary, given that 99% of the time I need the plot in order to save it, once it is saved, I do not need it anymore. Wouldn't it be a better idea to just close the plot automatically, maybe add an option

plt.savefig(..., keep_open=True)

for those users who do not want it closed.

Proposed solution
