o in the example above is any matplotlib artist, eg a line (returned by plot), a text instance (returned by set_xlabel, set_ylabel, set_title), a rectangle (returned by bar), etc.. Perhaps the example below will clarify In [1]: fig = figure() In [2]: ax = fig.add_subplot(111) In [3]: line, = ax.plot([1,2,3]) In [4]: xl = ax.set_xlabel('time') In [5]: yl = ax.set_ylabel('volts') In [7]: bars = ax.bar([1,2,3], rand(3)) In [8]: xl Out[8]: <matplotlib.text.Text instance at 0x3c37238> In [9]: yl Out[9]: <matplotlib.text.Text instance at 0x3c37df0> In [10]: line Out[10]: <matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x3c3e558> In [11]: bars Out[11]: [<matplotlib.patches.Rectangle instance at 0x6c92bc0>, <matplotlib.patches.Rectangle instance at 0x6c92be8>, <matplotlib.patches.Rectangle instance at 0x6c92c60>] In [12]: xl.set_visible(False) In [13]: draw() In [14]: bars[1].set_visible(False) In [15]: draw() ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
