[Matplotlib-users] Using matplotlib/basemap interactively

[Jon B. <j.d...@re...>]

Hi all,

I'd like to be able to create an GUI application based around a map
created using the basemap library.  In the GUI I'd like to be able to
add and remove layers of information to the map interactively, based
upon button presses.  I have successfully interacted with basemap
using IPython, meaning that I can add information to the map
interactively using script.  However I don't know how to:

1) Remove stuff from the map in script.
2) Embed the map in a GUI and add/remove data in response to user interaction.

Essentially I'm looking to create a simple custom GIS system.  I
wasn't able to find anything in the docs on this, but apologies if I
have missed something.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Jon
