I don't have time to find the Basemap example data files and run your
example, but I normally do it like this (which works fine for me -
it's not clear what problem you're seeing?):
# create new figure
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_axes(...)
curr_map = Basemap(..., ax=ax, ...)
im = curr_map.imshow(...)
# setup colorbar axes and draw colorbar
bbox = ax.get_position()
l,b,w,h = bbox.bounds
cax = fig.add_axes([l+w+0.05, b, 0.05, h],frameon=False)
fig.colorbar(im, cax=cax)
Maybe using the pyplot functions to add the colorbar axes and plot the
colorbar is causing some side-effects you don't expect?
Cheers,
Scott

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
