I have multiple tikz pictures in the single frame in beamer. In the first tikz picture I was able to use the only overlay and onslide command. However, for the second picture I am not able to achive the same effect. What I want is at onslide<4> onwards I want to show the contents on the second tikz picture.
The sample code inside a frame is as follows:
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Age of Water under dye from all Rivers}
\only<1->{\begin{tikzpicture}
\centering
\node [](0,0)(start){ \includegraphics[clip,trim=10 370 400 10,width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.85\textheight]{figures/dye-rivers}};
% \draw [step=0.5cm,thin,dotted] (-5,-4) grid(5,4);
% \node [circle]at (-4.5,0){0};
% \node [circle,radius=0.9cm,fill=red!30,] at (-4.5,0)(a){};
\onslide<2->{\draw [red,fill=red!30](-4.3,-0.2)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](-3.3,0)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](-2.5,-0.7)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](-4.,-0.8)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](-4.,-1.2)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](4.3,1.6)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](3.3,2.7)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](1.6,3.5)circle(0.1cm);
\draw [red,fill=red!30](1.3,3.5)circle(0.1cm);}
\node [rectangle,text width=4cm,red] at (5.5,3) (return) {$Q_2 = 169 A^{0.616}$ \linebreak Mason et. al. 1998};
\onslide<3-> \node [rectangle,text width=4cm,red] at (5,0) (return) {Smaller near the source \linebreak Increases away from the source};
\onslide<3-> \draw [red](-3.3,-1.5) circle(0.7cm);%wolf bay small age
\end{tikzpicture}}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node [](0,0)(start){ \includegraphics[clip,trim=400 370 0 0,width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.85\textheight]{figures/dye-rivers}};
\draw [step=0.5,dotted](-5,-4) grid (5,4);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}

The overlay specification
\only<1->{<text>}
causes<text>
to appear on all slides from slide 1 on. If you want to restrict the appearance of<text>
just to a particular range, you can use something like\only<1,2,3>{<text>}
or, more easily, using a range as in\only<1-3>{<text>}
(one can also use more complex specifications like\only<1-3,5-7,9>{<text>}
which means that<text>
will appear on slides1
to3
,5
to7
and9
). Section 9 Creating Overlays (particularly from the secons subsection on) contains the details for overlay specifications.Just for the example I changed the clip commands; restore them in the actual code.
