move a line from one subplot to another

Hi everybody,

I try to move an instance of matplotlib.lines.Line2D from one subplot to
another. How to do that? I have tried the following code, but the Line2D
does not appear on the second subplot.

Thanks in advance,

Julien

from pylab import *

ion()
f = figure()
s = f.add_subplot("211")
line = matplotlib.lines.Line2D([0,1],[0,1],color='m')
s.add_line( line )
s2 = f.add_subplot("212")

draw()

raw_input( 'press a key to remove the line and try to add it to second
subplot' )

line.remove()
s2.add_line( line )
draw()

raw_input('press a key to quit')

python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in '*9(9&(18%.\
9&1+,\'Z4(55l4('])"

moving around artists form one axes to the other can be very tricky
due to the underlying design of mpl. So, it is generally better idea
to create artists for each axes, instead of reusing them.

For a simple case as yours, adding the following line after
line.remove() will work.

line._transformSet = False
