Sorry this took so long, I lost you in my queue. You need to first save the results of the command you use to plot the points (every plotting command returns an object or set of objects that represent what was added to the plot.). You then call set_visible() on this object. Your problem was that calling ax.set_visible(False) made the entire Axes object invisible, which, as you saw, hid the plot. Here's a modified version of the plotcities example: from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap as Basemap m = Basemap() x, y = [70,30,110,-97,75,-10], [35, 40, 45, 60, -10, -40] x,y = m(x,y) m.drawcoastlines() m.fillcontinents() pts = m.scatter(x,y,25,marker='o',edgecolors='none',zorder=10) pts.set_visible(False) #Uncomment to make visible plt.show() Hope this helps, Ryan -- Ryan May Graduate Research Assistant School of Meteorology University of Oklahoma ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
