On current Raspbian, numpy is already set up, and mature packages are available: python-matplotlib python-mpltoolkits.basemap
I have installed matplotlib and basemap manually on Pi Zero, and would never wish that horror on anyone. I hav no input for getting it done on Windows; I don't touch that stuff.
I am working to convert the map display to use Cartopy. I have a prototype working. It seems much faster than Basemap.
I have removed Basemap and replaced it with Cartopy, so this issue is now moot.
I was going to update N1MM_View to support Python 3 and the latest matplotlib, and I struck out trying to install basemap, it is a giant pain in the ass on Windows, and probably worse on Raspbian.
I think I want to re-factor the display logic to use javascript libraries d3s for the graphs and leaflet for the mapping. This will result in the displays needing a modern web browser to run, but will also allow stations on the network to display the graphics as well as the main monitor connected to the Pi.
