fig = pylab.figure(figsize=(X,Y)) ax = fig.add_axes([0,0,1,1]) X and Y need to be set to the desired width and height of your figure in inches. To avoid having any border, Y/X must be exactly equal to the aspect ratio of the map projection region (which you can get from the 'aspect' Basemap instance variable). -Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
