Sorry for what is a beginnerish question but I’m having a hard time using the docs. I want to remove a previous plot from an axes. How do I do this?
Incidentally, it makes the docs hard to use that there are so many methods on Axes which are spread a great distance over the page. It would be nice to have a concise listing of the methods of Axes.
Note that I’m not using pyplot, but I think the term for what I’m doing is using the API. I’m subclassing FigureCanvas in PyQt, creating a Figure, and creating an axes using Figure.add_subplot().

This will clear the figure:
plt.clf()
Is this what you’re looking for, or just to pop one plot form the stack?

If you want to clear the axes, call the "cla()" or "clear()" method.
If you want to remove an artist such as a line, call its "remove()" method.

I agree. What is needed is a listing of methods by category instead of all together as a single alphabetical list. In the meantime, you might find browsing the User Guide to be of some help. Also, the "Quick Search" box can help.
