I am using span selector to identify an area and then highlight in in green.  I 
want the user to be able to validate this (or not) and then select another area 
(or not).  However, when the user selects the alternate area I want the 
previous instance of axvspan to be deleted/removed.  How do I remove this 
instance?  of do I have to delete the whole plot and replot?

Removing the instance is strongly preferred becauase the user may of altered 
the display using the canvas widgets.

 f=Figure(figsize=(12,8), dpi=72)
    a=f.add_subplot(111)
    ...
    a.plot(aTime, aDensity, 'k', aTime, aElec, 'b')
    ...
    canvas = FigureCanvasTkAgg(f, master=root)
    canvas.show()
    canvas.get_tk_widget().pack(side=Tk.TOP)
    .....
    def onselect(timemin,timemax):
        
indmin,indmax=npy.searchsorted(glbl.act_time[glbl.newjob],(timemin,timemax))
        indmax=min(len(glbl.act_time[glbl.newjob])-1,indmax)
        thistime=glbl.act_time[glbl.newjob][indmin:indmax]
        exec("thisDens=glbl.%s_d[%d][indmin:indmax]" % (newcolor, glbl.newjob))
        exec("thisElect=glbl.%s_d[%d][indmin:indmax]" % (newcolor, glbl.newjob))
        print thisDens
        #creates a reference green area to validate area chosen
        lo=glbl.act_time[glbl.newjob][indmin]
        hi=glbl.act_time[glbl.newjob][indmax]
        a.axvspan(lo,hi,facecolor='g',alpha=0.5)
        canvas.show()
...
    span=SpanSelector(a,onselect,'horizontal',useblit=True,
                      rectprops=dict(alpha=0.5,facecolor='red'))
