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

You can save a lot of time by pickling the Basemap instance at this 
point, saving it to a cache.  Then the next time, just pickle.load it 
from the cache.

Hi Ben, 

i run the process as user "root" on a virtual linux server. Is this a
problem?

10 seconds? That doesn't seem right. Are you running the process as an
apache user or something without a home directory? I suspect that the font
cache is not being created, and so it is having to build the font listing
every time it starts up.

Hi, yes that helps a lot, reading in the boundaries from a shapefile.

But does anybody know, how avoid the "double inner borders"? Coastlines seem
to have a thinner border. Borders between two countries be drawn twice.

Hi,

Have you considered reading from a suitably low-resolution shapefile
instead? I suppose overlays or colors change per generation but not
the geographical area.

Cheers,

Christian

I would like to draw very, very simple maps of only europe in matplotlib /
basemap, which takes very much time (around 10 seconds!). This is just
unreal!? Setting of resolution is only "l" (low).
I need to plot hundreds of those maps every few hours. This would be
impossible!!? :(

Here is the very simple code:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

m = Basemap(projection='stere',lon_0=5,lat_0=90.0,rsphere=6371200.,\
       
llcrnrlon=-25.0,urcrnrlon=72.0,llcrnrlat=26.0,urcrnrlat=65.0,resolution='l')

m.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.2)
m.drawcountries(linewidth=0.2)
plt.savefig('/var/www/map.png')


Hope you can help! :(

Regards
