Python equivalent to 'hold on' in Matlab

Python equivalent to 'hold on' in Matlab - Stack Overflow

Is there an explicit equivalent command in Python's matplotlib for Matlab's hold on? I'm trying to plot all my graphs on the same axes. Some graphs are generated inside a for loop, and these are plotted separately from su and sl:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

for i in np.arange(1,5):
    z = 68 + 4 * np.random.randn(50)
    zm = np.cumsum(z) / range(1,len(z)+1)
    plt.plot(zm)
    plt.axis([0,50,60,80])

plt.show()

n = np.arange(1,51)
su = 68 + 4 / np.sqrt(n)
sl = 68 - 4 / np.sqrt(n)

plt.plot(n,su,n,sl)

plt.axis([0,50,60,80])
plt.show()
