[Matplotlib-users] Removing a shapefile after it is loaded

[Ronquillo, E. N. <ero...@la...>]

Hello All,

I am working with Basemap and loading several shapefiles using checkboxes in python. However, when I uncheck a checkbox I would like a shapefile to be removed and stay with the other shapefiles that are already loaded. I tried reloading and replotting the whole thing when I remove a checkbox but it will remove all the other shapefiles as well. In simpler words, is it possible to remove a shapefile from Basemap after m.readshapefile() has been called?

Thanks in advance
