Hi all,
I'd like to be able to create an GUI application based around a map
created using the basemap library. In the GUI I'd like to be able to
add and remove layers of information to the map interactively, based
upon button presses. I have successfully interacted with basemap
using IPython, meaning that I can add information to the map
interactively using script. However I don't know how to:
1) Remove stuff from the map in script.
2) Embed the map in a GUI and add/remove data in response to user interaction.
Essentially I'm looking to create a simple custom GIS system. I
wasn't able to find anything in the docs on this, but apologies if I
have missed something. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

OK, Mauro Cavalcanti has just solved my problems by posting about the
release of his Croizat application! Looking through his source, I can
answer both of my own questions (please correct me if I'm wrong):
1) Remove stuff from the map in script.
I need to call remove() on the items on the map themselves, rather
than looking for a removeItem() method on the map. E.g.:
parallels = map.drawparallels()
for line in parallels.keys():
parallels[line][0][0].remove()
2) Embed the map in a GUI and add/remove data in response to user interaction
See Mauro's code, also an earlier post, which I missed first time:
http://www.nabble.com/Embedding-Basemap-in-a-wx-app-td20588673.html.
Sorry for the noise, and thanks to Mauro for posting his app!

Dear Jon,
This is exactly what my just released MPL/Basemap/wxPython application
for drawing biogeographic maps does!
Get it (with source code under GNU GPL) form http://panbiog.infobio.net/croizat
Hope it helps!
Best regards,
