Dear Jeff, Thanks a lot, as always, for your help! I just expected that it could be some sort of 'one-line' solution to the removing of parallel/meridian lines, avoiding the need to use a loop (as I want to remove all the lines at once). But, of course, it works! I will take this opportunity to

Dear John Darren, Thanks for your reply -- the panic I alluded for is simply the result of three months' strain working day-by-day to develop a very large application using wxPython/MPL/Basemap under Linux, along with a RAM crash and, more recently, an upgrade form Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) to

For my current use it would be enough if savefig had an option bbox = 'tight' so that only the area actually drawn in was written to file. The problem is that if you set the fig size and then set the axis size proportionately, you must fiddle with things to get a tight fit to
