Jesper: Can you be more specific about why you need a deepcopy? Those methods you mention do not modify the Basemap instance, although they do modify the axes instance they are used with. It shouldn't be a problem reusing the Basemap instance with a new axes instance (without using using deepcopy). -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
