Easily, just run the same script again. Dont save the image until you
want to print it.

In case your script takes a long time (eg: simulation etc) then save
the data from that
simulation into a mat-file and then finally have a separate script to plot the
data. So you want to split the code into 2 parts:

1. Solver / Computation program & save data to .mat files.
2. Plotting data from .mat file with your scripts.
