[Feature Request] compare matplotlib axes data

[ma-sadeghi]

I wonder if there's a way to compare the data stored on the axes object of figures generated by matplotlib w/ those when running the ipynb

At present, no. nbval works only on the outputs that the kernel sends to the notebook, not the Python objects inside the kernel. #26 is about giving it a way to know more about certain kinds of objects (like plots).
