When you create the plot, it returns a list of line objects. You can use this object to remove itself from the axes, and add it back it later. Hope this helps::
In [1]: l1 = plot([1,2,3]) In [2]: l2 = plot([4,5,6]) In [4]: l1 Out[4]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0xb676124c>] # Remove the first plot In [6]: l1[0].remove() # Put it back In [9]: axes().add_line(l1[0]) Cheers, Mike Søren Nielsen wrote: > Hi, > > Is there a way I can hide a line plot?
