how to clear the screen after exit vim

Question

Sometimes vim will leave something, i.e. press any key to continue, on the terminal and is there any way to return to a clear terminal after exiting vim? I am new to vim and please tell me exactly what I should do.

Sorry I did not express my idea clear enough the first time. What I actually want to ask is that is there a way to return to a clear terminal after typing :q in vim without further input of commands. I am using VIM 7.4 in Ubuntu, terminal type is xterm.

Add to your ~/.vimrc:

au VimLeave * :!clear
