Re: [Matplotlib-users] Plotting maps with matplotlib-basemap very slow

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.
