matplotlib.pyplot.close — Matplotlib 3.10.3 documentation (original) (raw)

matplotlib.pyplot.close(fig=None)[source]#

Close a figure window, and unregister it from pyplot.

Parameters:

figNone or int or str or Figure

The figure to close. There are a number of ways to specify this:

None: the current figure
Figure: the given Figure instance
int: a figure number
str: a figure name
'all': all figures

Notes

pyplot maintains a reference to figures created with figure(). When work on the figure is completed, it should be closed, i.e. deregistered from pyplot, to free its memory (see also :rc:figure.max_open_warning). Closing a figure window created by show() automatically deregisters the figure. For all other use cases, most prominently savefig() withoutshow(), the figure must be deregistered explicitly using close().
