I have a plot using matplotlib and I want to remove some of the buttons from the toolbar.

I have achieved removing the forward, back, home, zoom and help buttons, but when I try to remove the "Configure subplots" button I get an error.

Why can't I remove this one but I can remove the others?

My code is something like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['toolbar'] = 'toolmanager'

fig = plt.figure()

fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('forward')
fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('back')
fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('home')
fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('zoom')
fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('help')
fig.canvas.manager.toolmanager.remove_tool('subplots')

If I comment the last line, the code runs without problem and I get the toolbar without the specified buttons, but if I add the last line I get the following error:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'destroy'

I have tried all type of combinations from 'subplots', in case the name is not correct like

  • 'Subplot',
  • 'Subplots',
  • 'subplot',
  • 'configure',
  • 'configure_subplots',
  • 'Configure subplots'

    I suggested a fix for this in #14282, which might make it into the next bug fix release. Commented May 20, 2019 at 22:50

    In the meantime you can use the Qt5Agg backend, which does not have this problem. Commented May 21, 2019 at 10:19
