Josh,
Can you please post the entire traceback? My suspicion for what is
happening is that both figures are sharing the same canvas, but I am not
exactly sure. Anyway, when you perform a plot on one panel, you are
calling "clear()" for that figure, which may be having side-effects for the
other figure since it is attached to the same Wx object.
Actually, looking over your code again, I see a few things that may or may
not be part of the problem, but should be addressed, nevertheless. First,
you are calling FigureCanvas and assigning it to self.canvas. This canvas
is different from the canvas that the figure will actually use, so I am not
sure if this is being done correctly. Second, your call to "plt.close()"
assumes that the figure you want to close is the currently active figure.
What you want to call is "plt.close(self.figure)" in order to make sure it
closes the figure you intend to close.
