Hi Eric,
I didn't intend to be faster or more memory saving than clearing the axes but
to preserve the properties of the axes (like the label in my example).
What are the advantages of using 'cla' instead of deleting old collections?
Kind regards,
Matthias
PS: The following works as the previous example, but using 'cla':
ax = plt.subplot(111)
for i in xrange(10):
x = np.random.uniform(size=(20, 20)) # get some random data
ax.contour(x)
plt.draw() # redraw current figure
time.sleep(1) # wait for one second
ax.cla() # clear the axes
