I'm not sure what exactly an issue here.
You want to know how to keep the first three graph during each step?
Can't you just clear the last axes, and redraw it.

e.g.,

self.subplot4.cla()
self.subplot4.imshow(...)

if you want to stick to the pylab interface (which I don't think a
good idea for application development),

sca(self.subplot4)
cla()
imshow(...)

A snippet of code does not help much.
Please take your time to create a small, standalone script that
reproduces your problem and post that on the mailing list.
