[Matplotlib-users] Plotting maps with matplotlib-basemap very slow

[Sappy85 <rob...@gm...>]

I would like to draw very, very simple maps of only europe in matplotlib /
basemap, which takes very much time (around 10 seconds!). This is just
unreal!? Setting of resolution is only "l" (low).
I need to plot hundreds of those maps every few hours. This would be
impossible!!? :(

Here is the very simple code:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap

m = Basemap(projection='stere',lon_0=5,lat_0=90.0,rsphere=6371200.,\
       
llcrnrlon=-25.0,urcrnrlon=72.0,llcrnrlat=26.0,urcrnrlat=65.0,resolution='l')

m.drawcoastlines(linewidth=0.2)
m.drawcountries(linewidth=0.2)
plt.savefig('/var/www/map.png')


Hope you can help! :(

Regards
