The `aspect` Basemap instance variable tells you the aspect ratio of the map. For instance, in the wx embedding example you sent me, the map.aspect = 0.5. Therefore, you would need to create a figure canvas that is twice as wide as it is high, like this
self.figure = Figure(figsize=(10,5)) then add an axes instances that fills the figure completely self.ax = self.figure.add_axes([0,0,1,1]) Note that you will not have any room for labels if you do this.
