Delete Method

The Delete method deletes a graphic.

Tip: To completely free all of the resources used by the graphic window you should always call the Close method or click the close window button on the widget. Calling obj_destroy or calling the Delete or Erase methods will not free all of the objects.

Example

Copy and paste the first two lines to the IDL command line to draw the plot and the text annotation. Then paste the last line separately to see how it deletes the annotation.

plot = PLOT(/TEST)

t1 = text(0.5, 0.8, 'Text 1')

t1.Delete

Syntax

graphic.Delete
