OK, Mauro Cavalcanti has just solved my problems by posting about the release of his Croizat application! Looking through his source, I can answer both of my own questions (please correct me if I'm wrong):
> 1) Remove stuff from the map in script. I need to call remove() on the items on the map themselves, rather than looking for a removeItem() method on the map. E.g.: parallels = map.drawparallels() for line in parallels.keys(): parallels[line][0][0].remove() > 2) Embed the map in a GUI and add/remove data in response to user interaction See Mauro's code, also an earlier post, which I missed first time: http://www.nabble.com/Embedding-Basemap-in-a-wx-app-td20588673.html. Sorry for the noise, and thanks to Mauro for posting his app!
