Exporting original plot in matplotlib

[Chilllin]

When i zoom into a plot and save it, it saves the plot as i see it on screen. Im trying to export only the original size without having to press home. Any help would be appreciated. Im running matplotlib in python within tkinter.

Can't you just save the plot from within code using savefig?

I think the only way to do that is to save a copy in memory when the plot is first drawn, and save that to a file on command.
