As described in the doc, the errorbar command creates lines and line collections, where the errorbars are created as line collections. Axes.collections contains the list of collection artist that belong to the axes hence this is the place. However, I don't think manipulating Axes.collections (and the return value of get_lines() ) in this way is a good idea. All the artist added to an axes has "remove" method. When called, the artist remove itself from the axes it belongs. I'm not sure what your intention is, but if you want to temporarily remove some artists from the axes, it would be easier to make them simply invisible. Otherwise, I recommend you to use the remove method.
