Hi, creating a pickle of the Basmap instance was the correct way. Now it works great! Thank's all for that quick and helpful support!
Solution as follows: m = Basemap (...) pickle.dump(m,open('map.pickle','wb'),-1) # pickle it for ... : # loop to generate x plots pickle.load(open('map.pickle','rb')) # load here the above pickle # do some other stuff Regards Sappy85 -- View this message in context: http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Plotting-maps-with-matplotlib-basemap-very-slow-tp44755p44761.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
