# 1.13 delete

    delete { <item number> }

The `delete` command removes vector graphics objects such as plots, arrows or text items from the current multiplot canvas. All vector graphics objects placed on multiplot canvases receive unique identification numbers which count sequentially from one, and which may be listed using the `list` command. The items to be deleted should be identified using a comma-separated list of their identification numbers. The example

    delete 1,2,3

would remove item numbers 1, 2 and 3.

Having been deleted, multiplot items can be restored using the `undelete` command.
