Hi everybody,

I want to delete a subplot from my figure. How to do that?

For example, I would like to remove the right subplot in the following
example:

···

########################
from pylab import *

ion()
f = figure()
s = f.add_subplot("121")
X1 = arange( 0.0, 5.0, 0.1 )
s.plot( X1, X1**2)

s = f.add_subplot("122")
s.plot( X1, sqrt( X1 ))

show()
########################

Thanks in advance,

Julien

Hmm, I didn't know you could pass a string in for the subplot arg :slight_smile:

Call f.delaxes(s) where s is the subplot instance you want to remove
