Hi there,

First off, thanks for the great plugin! Just a long time user over at PyGMT and we've being using pytest-mpl quite extensively to catch lots of bugs 😄

Anyhow, we're just wondering if there's scope here for something like @pytest.mark.mpl_check_equal based on matplotlib's check_figures_equal function for "generating and comparing two figures" (fig_ref and fig_test) on the fly (without having a baseline image).

The main use case for this is to keep our repository size small, since the baseline images can take up a lot of space. Currently, pytest-mpl does something similar to matplotlib's image_comparison decorator function. We've been putting some thought into this at GenericMappingTools/pygmt#555, and rather than duplicating work, we're wondering if the logic could sit here in pytest-mpl or somewhere in the matplotlib organization.

Happy to submit a PR if someone can point me in the right direction.
