I want to save a matplotlib chart so I can reference it later as an email attachment.
Following is the code to create the chart; I tried using savefig(). It creates a file but the file is empty when I open it.
Can someone tell me what I've done wrong? 

x = (list(today['STOCH'][60:104]))
plt.plot(x,label='Stochastics')
plt.ylabel('STOCH')
plt.xlabel('60 Min Chart\n78 Ticks per Day')
plt.title(stock)
plt.legend()
plt.show()
plt.savefig('stoch.png')

You must save the figure before showing it, otherwise, it is closed when you try to save it, and the file is empty.

x = (list(today['STOCH'][60:104]))
plt.plot(x,label='Stochastics')
plt.ylabel('STOCH')
plt.xlabel('60 Min Chart\n78 Ticks per Day')
plt.title(stock)
plt.legend()

plt.savefig('stoch.png')     # <-- here

plt.show()
