I did exactly what you describe using pixmaps on a sun running
openwindows. The steps I used for each image were:
1) read the image from the data file
2) map_set,...
3) warp=map_image(img,xx,yy,...)
4) tv,warp,xx,yy
5) map_grid,/label
6) map_continents,...
7) plot other data, labels etc on plot
8) transfer the image to pixmap memory using TvRd() etc.

Once all the frames are ready, then I run a short loop to
display the frames (use: device, copy=...) while checking
the keyboard for input to freeze the animation, exit, etc.

A description of the pixmaps is in the IDL Reference Guide,
chapter on IDL Graphics Devices, under the section on the X
Windows Device.
Good Luck.
