  and creates the coastline data structures in native map projection

+ Calling a Basemap class instance with the arguments lon, lat will
+ convert lon/lat (in degrees) to x/y native map projection coordinates
+ (in meters). The inverse transformation is done if the optional keyword
+ ``inverse`` is set to True.

  The desired projection is set with the projection keyword. Default is ``cyl``.
  Supported values for the projection keyword are:
