Axes created viampl_toolkits.axes_grid1.host_subplot(...).twin() (ortwinx(),twiny()) can not be removed via theirremove() method. Non-mpl_toolkit twin axes can be removed; this is specific tompl_toolkit.

Example:

frommpl_toolkits.axes_grid1importhost_subploth=host_subplot(111)t=h.twin()t.remove()

raisesNotImplementedError: cannot remove artist.

Is there a way around this that I'm missing? I'm using axes_grid1'stwin() to interactively create axes with user-defined transforms and want to be able to destroy them as well, of course. Alternatively, it would suffice for me to be able to change the transform (given initially viatwin(aux_transform)), but even that seems not possible.
