RemoveContour

RemoveContour [/ALL /W=winName /Z] contourInstanceName [, contourInstanceName ]...​

The RemoveContour operation removes the traces, and releases memory associated with the contour of contourInstanceName in the target or named graph.

Parameters​

contourInstanceName is usually simply the name of a wave. More precisely, contourInstanceName is a wave name, optionally followed by the # character and an instance number to identify which contour plot of a given wave is to be removed.

Flags​

/ALLRemoves all contour plots from the graph. Any contour name parameters listed are ignored. /ALL was added in Igor Pro 9.00.
/W=winNameRemoves contours from the named graph window or subwindow. When omitted, action will affect the active window or subwindow. This must be the first flag specified when used in a Proc or Macro or on the command line.
When identifying a subwindow with winName, see Subwindow Syntax for details on forming the window hierarchy.
/ZSuppresses error if specified contour is not on the graph. /Z was added in Igor 10.

Details​

If the axes used by the given contour plot are not in use after removing it, they will also be removed.

A contour instance name in a string can be used with the $ operator for contourInstance.

Examples​

Display;AppendMatrixContour zw  // new graph, contour of zw matrix
AppendMatrixContour zw          // two contours of zw
RemoveContour zw#1              // remove the second contour
