DGS3 YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 16	How do you remove objects? Jan 15th, 2009, 10:34pm   How do you remove objects from the Canvas?  I looked for a .remove() method, but couldn't find anything of any help.  You guys have any ideas?

If you are also concerned about cleaning up the data structures that did the drawing in the first place, a good place to learn is the particle examples. Good luck in your processing!
