What is cla() in Matplotlib
This cla()method in the Pyplot module of the Matplotlib library is used to clear the current axes.
Example:
Python3
import numpy as npimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltt = np.linspace(0.0, 2.0, 401)s = np.sin(2 * np.pi * t)fig, [ax, ax1] = plt.subplots(2, 1)ax.set_ylabel('y-axis')ax.plot(t, s)ax.grid(True)ax1.set_ylabel('y-axis')ax1.set_xlabel('x-axis')ax1.plot(t, s)ax1.grid(True)# Function callax1.cla()fig.suptitle('matplotlib.pyplot.cla Example')plt.show() |
Output:
The subplot ax1 content is cleared.
Difference Between cla(), clf() and close() Methods in Matplotlib
Matplotlib is a library in Python. It is a mathematical extension of the Numpy Library. It is a comprehensive library for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. Pyplot is a state-based interface to a Matplotlib module. The Pyplot can create many types of plots such as line graphs, bar graphs, histograms, etc. The cla(), clf() and close() are different methods and functions of Matplotlib.
