Chris - Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to have
any effect on the frame I created.
I notice with matplotlib 0.98.5.1, I get a warning with get_frame(),
telling me to use the patch object of the axes instead of get_frame().
So, when I use this with an axes created for a Basemap, I can't get
the thickness of the frame around the axes to change.
I'm using Basemap 0.99.2.
The code demonstrating the issue is attached, and the relevant lines
of code are near the bottom of the script.
Thanks,
Mike

I use:
plt.gca().get_frame().set_linewidth(2)
#!/usr/bin/python
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from pylab import *
fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_axes([0,0,1.0,1.0])
bounds = (134,144,36,40)
clon = bounds[0] + (bounds[1]-bounds[0])/2.
clat = bounds[2] + (bounds[3]-bounds[2])/2.
# setup Lambert Conformal basemap.
m = Basemap(llcrnrlon=bounds[0],llcrnrlat=bounds[2],
urcrnrlon=bounds[1],urcrnrlat=bounds[3],
resolution='h',projection='merc',lat_ts=clat)
# draw coastlines.
m.drawcoastlines()
# draw a boundary around the map, fill the background.
# this background will end up being the ocean color, since
# the continents will be drawn on top.
m.drawmapboundary(fill_color='aqua')
# fill continents, set lake color same as ocean color.
m.fillcontinents(color='coral',lake_color='aqua')
left = 0.05
bottom = 0.05
width = 0.25
height = 0.25
llbounds = (left,bottom,width,height)
ax = fig.add_axes(llbounds)
map = Basemap(resolution='c',
projection='ortho',
lon_0=clon,lat_0=clat,ax=ax)
#print 'map created.'
map.drawcountries(linewidth=0.1,color=[0.2,0.2,0.2])
map.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.05,color=[0.2,0.2,0.2])
map.drawlsmask((230,230,230,255),(119,155,207,255))
meridians = arange(-180,210,30)
parallels = arange(-90,120,30)
map.drawmeridians(meridians,linewidth=0.1,dashes=[1,0],color=[0.2,0.2,0.2])
map.drawparallels(parallels,linewidth=0.1,dashes=[1,0],color=[0.2,0.2,0.2])
pcx,pcy = map(clon,clat)
map.plot(array([pcx]),array([pcy]),'r*',linewidth=1,markersize=5,markeredgecolor='r')
map.drawmapboundary(color='k',linewidth=2.0)
ax.set_frame_on(True)
ax.patch.set_linewidth(4.0)
plt.savefig('output.png')
