Dear Jeff,
Sorry, I then got a TypeError: remove() takes exactly one argument (0
given)...Best regards,
Mauro: Don't know why that would be. Here's what I get
% ipython --pylab
In [3] from mpl_toolkits.basemap import Basemap
In [4]: m = Basemap()
In [5]: c = m.drawcountries() # map pops up with country boundaries drawn
In [6]: type(c)
Out[6]: <class 'matplotlib.collections.LineCollection'>
In [7]: help(c.remove)
Help on method remove in module matplotlib.artist:
remove(self) method of matplotlib.collections.LineCollection instance
Remove the artist from the figure if possible. The effect
will not be visible until the figure is redrawn, e.g., with
:meth:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.draw_idle`. Call
:meth:`matplotlib.axes.Axes.relim` to update the axes limits
if desired.
In [8]: c.remove()
In [9]: draw() # countries disappear from map.

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your fast reply. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get
yet working:I have a menu event like this:
borders =
if self.MapDrawBorderItem.IsChecked():
borders = self.map.drawcountries()
else:
self.ax.lines.remove(borders)
# .... redraw the map here...But I got a ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list
Any hints?
Mauro: Instead of
self.ax.lines.remove(borders)
I think should simply do
borders.remove()

With best regards,

Dear ALL,
Always engaged in pushing MPL/Basemap ahead of its limits, here am I
again with a humble question: I want to be able to toggle the display
of country boundaries on a map using a menu option on my wxPython
interface. It is quite easy to initially plotting a map without
borders and then toggling them on, but I could not figure out a way to
toggling them off (if possible, without redrawing the whole map). Is
there any trick to do this?Thanks in advance!
With warmest regards,
Mauro:
The drawcountries() method returns a matplotlib line collection.
Invoking
the remove() method of the line collection will remove the countries from
the axes instance.-Jeff
