I have created a little GUI in PyQt using QT Designer. I have one button."Clear" button must clear this plot(My clear button calls pushButton). I try to write some code but it don't run. How can I create this clear button? Thank you. 

import sys
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic


form_class = uic.loadUiType("gugus.ui")[0]  # Load the UI


class MyWindowClass(QtGui.QMainWindow, form_class):

def __init__(self, parent=None):

    QtGui.QMainWindow.__init__(self, parent)
    self.setupUi(self)

    self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.btn_pgb)
    self.matplotlibwidget.axes.plot([0, 1, 1.5, 3], [50, 1, 2, 0])

def btn_pgb(self):  

    # Her I should clear my plot, but don`t know how `enter code here`
    self.progressBar.setValue(69)


app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
myWindow = MyWindowClass()
myWindow.show()
app.exec_()

To clear the axes, use axes.clear(). To clear the complete figure, use axes.figure.clear().

In your case this would be 

self.matplotlibwidget.axes.clear()

or 

self.matplotlibwidget.axes.figure.clear()

After that you would need to redraw the canvas.

self.matplotlibwidget.axes.figure.canvas.draw_idle()

  • Sorry, I cannot test it, since I don't have a [mcve] available. I forgot to mention that for this to be visible, you'd need to redraw the canvas. See updated answer. – ImportanceOfBeingErnest Mar 03 '17 at 12:40
