Removing continents

Dear Jeff,

Thanks for your attention.

Mauro: Did you update from SVN? If so, can be more specific about what
didn't work? The return value of fillcontinents should be a list of Polygon
instances, each with a remove method.
    
Well, let's see... I am using version 0.99.2 from the regular
installation package (under Ubuntu Hardy). The problem is that I
cannot resort to SVN versions because my application should run with
MPL/Basemap versions that can be downloaded and installed by
unsophisticated Windows users (those that know how to download an
".exe" file, click on it, and install).
  
Mauro: I realize that - but if you can test the SVN version then I can make a new release before you release your app.

So, if I do correctly understood, the sample code below will work only
with the SVN version?

contpolys = map.fillcontinents()
for contpoly in contpolys:
  contpoly.remove()
  
Yes.

With best regards,

PS BTW, the new "scale" parameter on the Blue Marble drawing method
works quite well! Using it, I have been able to reduce the time
required to draw an excellent image by several orders of magnitude!
  
Good.
Have not yet tested the speed improvements you did to the drawrivers()
method.
  

I haven't changed the drawrivers method.

Dear Jeff,

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been trying to deal with a
problem when upgrading MPL (I presume should use the latest version of
Basemap with the latest version of MPL).

I have not considered this possibility -- thank you ***very much*** again!

I downloaded the tarball package from svn and will install soon. Will
report the results later.

With best regards,

Mauro: It's a good idea, but not necessary.
