obspy.core.stream.Stream.clear

Clear trace list (convenience method).

Replaces Stream’s trace list by an empty one creating an empty Stream object. Useful if there are references to the current Stream object that should not break. Otherwise simply use a new Stream() instance.

Example

>>> from obspy import read
>>> st = read()
>>> len(st)
3
>>> st.clear()  
<...Stream object at 0x...>
>>> st.traces
[]
