clear

PrimePlotter.clear()

Clear all actors from the scene.

This method removes all previously added objects (meshes, points, lines, text, etc.) from the visualization scene, therefore allowing the plotter to be reused after show() has been called.

Return type:

None

Examples

Clear before showing:

>>> from ansys.tools.visualization_interface import Plotter
>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> plotter = Plotter()
>>> plotter.plot(pv.Sphere())
>>> plotter.clear()  # Changed mind, remove sphere
>>> plotter.plot(pv.Cube())
>>> plotter.show()

Clear after showing

>>> plotter = Plotter()
>>> plotter.plot(pv.Sphere())
>>> plotter.show()
>>> plotter.clear()  # Reset the plotter to reuse it
>>> plotter.plot(pv.Cube())
>>> plotter.show()
