Hi, I have another question for the group... I saw in the archives someone else who was getting the error I am now running in to now. He said he solved it by recompiling from sources. I was wondering what version of Python is optimal for matplotlib and basemap? Or maybe somebody knows how I can fix this without compiling? I prefer to use the package management for easier upgrades in the future. In case anyone was curious about the error, it is "AttributeError: 'AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'get_autoscalex_on'". I was attempting to take one of the examples (simpletest.py) and use "agg" to output to a image file, as outlined in the matplotlib tutorial here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html?highlight=web#matplotlib-in-a-web-application-server Thanks again, ~ Jeremy
