Thanks John,

I just want to let you know that neither 'cla', 'clf' nor 'figure' solved t=
he=20
issue but 'close' did it.  I must point out that the only element that was=
=20
being carried out from figure to figure was the colorbar, not the plot=20
itself. Apparently 'close' is the only one of these functions that gets rid=
=20
of the colorbar.
