MatPlotLib Scatterplot removal

Question

I want to remove some data plotted as a scatter plot on matplotlib in python. I have used some some scatter data and some 'plot' line data.

Now, to remove the 'plot' line data I have used: del self.plot1.lines[0]

What is the equivalent command to remove a scatter plot? Can anyone help me with that?

Answer 1

One of the scatterplot object's methods is remove.

If you change the line abc.set_visible(False) to abc.remove(), the results look the same, except the scatterplot is now actually removed from the plot, instead of being set to not visible.
