I have an axes instance on which I have plotted my map decorations (coastlines, meridians and so on). I would like to reuse that axes. On the same axes* I would like to make filled contour plot and potentially a quiver plot. These should be discarded after saving the plot to a file. I know I have to discard part of the "collection" variable in the axes instance. But it seems like other things are changed as well. Is it safe to ignore these and simply do something like this: nsave = len(ax.collections) ...do and save plot... ax.collections = ax.collections[0:nsave] or would you recommend doing something else? Regards, Jesper *) I have tried to make an extra axes for the contour plot itself but it seems like matplotlib does not create an extra axes when it is the same size as an existing axes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
