One of the reasons I'm confused is b/c when I poked around, I found a
clear method:
>>> help(pylab.gcf().clear)
Help on method clear in module matplotlib.figure:
clear(self) method of matplotlib.figure.Figure instance
Clear the figure
but when I execute this on my open figure:
>>>pylab.gcf().clear()
nothing happens; the figure's still displaying whatever was already
on it.
So far, the only thing I've found that works is to call plot
differently when its time to clear the figure (pass hold=False).
Subsequent calls to plot (w/o this option) keep adding to, which is
great.
Is passing a hold=False arg to a drawing command the preferred way to
clear a figure, or is clear() not working properly?
Many thanks,
