PLCLEAR(3plplot)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the PLCLEAR(3plplot) page — your PLplot API moment for plclear, aka the “Clear current (sub)page” icon 💅✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

plclear()

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It clears the current page, effectively erasing literally everything that have been drawn 💀✨ No crumbs. No leftovers. Just a fresh page vibe.

💅 Heads up, bestie: this command only works with interactive drivers. If the driver does not support this, the page is filled with the background color in use.

If the current page is divided into subpages, only the current subpage is erased. The nth subpage can be selected with pladv(3plplot)(n) 👑

Redacted form: General: plclear()

Not me being absent from every example: this function is not used in any examples 🙈
