+Instead of drawing coastlines and political boundaries, an image can be
+used as a map background. Basemap provides several options for this:
+
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.drawlsmask`: draw a high-resolution
+ land-sea mask as an image, with land and ocean colors specified.
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.bluemarble`: draw a NASA
+ `Blue Marble <http://visibleearth.nasa.gov/view_set.php?categoryID=2363>`_
+ image as a map background.
+* :func:`~mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.warpimage`: use an abitrary
+ image as a map background. The image must be global, covering the
+ world in lat/lon cooridinates from dateline to dateline and South
+ Pole to North Pole.
