Hi all,
I think it's a trivial question, but don't find a solution:
Drawing an image with imshow (in fact basemap.imshow), I need to put others
images on it, but smallers, at specified locations.
Is there a way to do so, I have tried with extent parameter, but doesn't do
what I expect?
Thanks

Lionel: I think you'll need to add other axes to the figure, and then draw the image with axes.imshow.
See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/axes_demo.py for an example of how to use inset axes.

Hi Jeff,
I've saw that, but I have the smalls images coordinates in geographic system,
then I need to recompute their position everytime the user will change the
figure's aspect, ... Not very usefull. Is there a way to extend the missing
areas around each small image by a "transparent" value, and put this new
image layer on the background image? My last chance is to perform the
operation directly with PIL, but BTW, I'll lose Basemap projections
facilities.

Lionel: Not sure what you mean here, but you plot masked arrays with imshow, making the missing values transparent (see the image_masked.py example). Perhaps you could pad the 'small' image with missing values so that it's the same size as the background image, then just plot it over the top with basemap.imshow().
My last chance is to perform the operation directly with PIL, but BTW, I'll lose Basemap projections facilities.
As a last resort you can perform the layering with PIL, the plot the PIL image with matplotlib (see image_demo3.py and geos_demo_2.py in the basemap examples).
