Hi!

[I think the message didn't get through the first time I sent it. Resending,
and apologies if you get it twice]

I have a rather complex basemap-derived plot that I want to save as
animation.
In essence, it uses the blumarble() to add a nice background, plots some
stuff on top of that, and also has an inset with a map of the world that
shows the area of the main map.

The problem is that memory usage as I iterate through the frames that will
eventually make up my animation, rises very fast. I read a post some time
ago
on how to store the background, so it didn't have to be recreated everytime
here:
<http://www.nabble.com/Save-a-plot-background-to20519596.html#a20519596>

There's an example on how to actually do this for basemaps from J Whitaker,
but I can't get this to work on my example. Ideally, I would like to store
the inset in a function, and my main background in another function, and
restore each axis directly. My attempt follows (which produces a blank
image)
is at <http://pastebin.com/f4636fd7f>

Many thanks!
Jose
