Hi Monks, I have a problem i need help with. I need to use a frame to recreate charts based on inputs from the user. I have no problems generating the charts for the first time. But when i try to reuse the same frame space for a new chart, I end up expanding the frame size and the new chart is appended to the existing window. Could you please suggest some ways to do it ??
Thanks,..!!! Here is an example code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use Tk;
  use Tk::Chart::Lines;
    use Tk::Chart::Areas;


  my $mw = MainWindow->new(
    -title      => 'Tk::Chart::Lines example',
    -background => 'white',
  );
  my $chart = $mw->Lines(
    -title  => 'My graph title',
    -xlabel => 'X Label',
    -ylabel => 'Y Label',
  )->pack(qw / -fill both -expand 1 /);

  my @data = (
    [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th', '6th', '7th', '8th', '9th' ],
    [ 1,     2,     5,     6,     3,     1.5,   1,     3,     4 ],
    [ 4,     2,     5,     2,     3,     5.5,   7,     9,     4 ],
    [ 1,     2,     52,    6,     3,     17.5,  1,     43,    10 ]
  );

  # Add a legend to the graph
  my @legends = ( 'legend 1', 'legend 2', 'legend 3' );
  $chart->set_legend(
    -title       => 'Title legend',
    -data        => \@legends,
    -titlecolors => 'blue',
  );

  # Add help identification
  $chart->set_balloon();

  # Create the graph
  $chart->plot( \@data );

sleep(2);

$chart->clearchart;

my $chart = $mw->Areas(
    -title  => 'My graph title',
    -xlabel => 'X Label',
    -ylabel => 'Y Label',
  )->pack(qw / -fill both -expand 1 /);

  my @data1 = (
    [ '1st', '2nd', '3rd', '4th', '5th', '6th', '7th', '8th', '9th' ],
    [ 1,     2,     5,     6,     3,     1.5,   1,     3,     4 ],
    [ 4,     2,     5,     2,     3,     5.5,   7,     9,     4 ],
    [ 1,     2,     52,    6,     3,     17.5,  1,     43,    10 ]
  );

  # Add a legend to the graph
  my @legends1 = ( 'legend 1', 'legend 2', 'legend 3' );
  $chart->set_legend(
    -title       => 'Title legend',
    -data        => \@legends1,
    -titlecolors => 'blue',
  );

# Add help identification
  $chart->set_balloon();

  # Create the graph
  $chart->plot( \@data1 );


  MainLoop();
