title: Remove annotation while keeping plot matplotlib
body: <p>I'm producing a series of scatterplots, where I keep most of the plot (besides the scatter plot) between each plot. This is done like so: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42298469/keeping-map-overlay-between-plots-in-matplotlib/42302650#42302650">Keeping map overlay between plots in matplotlib</a></p>
  
  <p>Now I want to add annotation to the plot:</p>
  
  <pre><code>for j in range(len(n)):
     plt.annotate(n[j], xy = (x[j],y[j]), color = "#ecf0f1", fontsize = 4)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this annotation stays on the plot between plots. How can I clear the annotation after each figure is saved?</p>
