I'm plotting some data in a Tkinter FigureCanvasTkagg using matplotlib. I need to clear the figure where i plot data and draw new data when a button is pressed. here is the plotting part of the code (there's an App class defined before..) self.fig = figure() self.ax = self.fig.add_subplot(111) self.ax.set_ylim( min(y), max(y) ) self.line, = self.ax.semilogx(x,y,'.-') #tuple of a single element self.canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(self.fig,master=master) self.ax.semilogx(x,y,'o-') self.canvas.show() self.canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side='top', fill='both', expand=1) self.frame.pack() how do i update the contents of such a canvas? regards, Jacopo
